Hi, Angela,
I wrote two dances called "All Hands on Deck" and "Hold Fast." They both
sort of combine "Fast Hands" by Diane Silver and "A Pirate's Life for Me"
by Nathaniel Jack.
See www.duganmurphy.com/dances-i-wrote
Two of my other titles, "Bold Coast" and "Cutler Coast" sound a little
piratelike, though they actually refer to a state park in Cutler, Maine.
They are written out on the same web page linked above.

Jack's Sparrow is a four couple longways that works at most contras. The
two-hand turn by the profressed 1s at the end is often done as a partner
swing. https://youtu.be/CDTNZbQvkD0 . Helps if the band can play "He's a
Pirate.

These are all great suggestions, thanks all! Keep em coming!
After gong through my dances, I've also pulled out Bob Isaacs's "Double

*written also with Lynn Ackerson, Bryan Suchenski, and Erika Rosenberg in a

For me a leisurely day and relaxed trip yields a better dance. I avoid rush hour traffic like the plague.

A Pirate's Life for Me, by Nathaniel Jack (haaa Perry you were too quick on
the draw!)
Also, cheap trick, but the gimmick of Maggie Jo Saylor's dance is
petronella turn and instead of the claps, shouting "yo ho!" -- can be
applied to any petronella turn set to a jig.

It"s a Pirate's Life for Me by Nathaniel Jack is the first that always comes to mind. Treasure of the Sierra Madre is another.

Did you know that September 19 is International Talk Like a Pirate Day?
Me neither, but the dance I'm calling tonight was sure to let me know! I know there are a bunch of Pirate-themed dances out there (one that I heard Maggie Jo Saylor called years ago springs to mind, with two consecutive wave balances). Send along some of your favorites, maybe others with gigs this weekend will find they come in handy!
Thanks!
