All organizations and characters other than the author are entirely fictitious and any resemblance to any official organization or candidate - living, dead or undead/zombie - is purely accidental. Consult a doctor before beginning any contra dancing or run the risk of side effects like euphoria or excessive smiling, leading to facial cramps. Such reactions are fortunately relatively common but generally harmless. If you experience any euphoria lasting more than 4 hours, you may have a serious condition that warrants enrolling in a dance weekend or other residential treatment program. Your mileage may vary.

[Callers] CRAPO Dance Recall Notice, #DCAv1 - "Double Crossed Again"

by Abed A. Dan, S.E. via Callers

CRAPO Dance Recall Notice DCAv1, 20160227 Dear Dance Leader, The Choreography Registration And Publication Office* (CRAPO) Safety Division (SD), in partnership with dance author Don Veino, jointly announce a voluntary recall of his dance composition "Double Crossed Again", version 1. In order to prevent dancer dissatisfaction and maximize enjoyment for the future, we have agreed this joint voluntary recall. Mr. Veino has re-imagined the dance to address a flow violation and has revised the composition to improve dancer enjoyment. As a potential consumer of this composition (via participation on the Shared Weight Callers forum), we provide this notice to you. As sole compensation for your potentially sub-optimal experience, CRAPO SD have reached an agreement with Mr. Veino to supply you a fully tested second revision of the original composition plus a bonus dance for your inconvenience (his new "Sneaks & Peeks"), see below. Should you wish to opt out of this recall, please delete this entire message and discard your copy of the original version dance in a safe manner, in compliance with applicable local hazardous waste regulations. Best Regards, Abed A. Dan, S.E. CRAPO Chief Safety Engineer ========================== REVISED DANCE COMPOSITION ========================== *Double Crossed Again!* (V2) _________________________ [Type]: Contra [Formation]: Duple Improper [Author]: Don Veino [Status]: Independently Validated:: [Comments]: Intermediate/Advanced (Cross-Trails, significant out of minor set action). My first double Cross-Trails dance. :: [A1]: (4,4) Right Hand BALANCE, CROSS-TRAIL (Pass current N (N1) Right up/down the set, Pass P Left across) (8) NEIGHBOR 1 SWING (on away side) :: [A2]: (8) LEFT DIAGONAL LADIES CHAIN (to Shadow) (4) Right Hand to NEIGHBOR 2 (across set), BALANCE N2 (4) CROSS TRAIL (pass N2 by right across, pass Shadow by left up/down to face P) #PROGRESSION :: [B1]: (4,12) PARTNER BALANCE, SWING :: [B2]: (8) LONG LINES FORWARD & BACK (8) STAR RIGHT 3/4 and face progression to take Right Hand with THIS neighbor... ========================== BONUS DANCE COMPOSITION ========================== *Sneaks & Peeks* - DI, DP - Don Veino 20150106 ____________________________________________ Set up with Ones slightly between Twos to ID handy hands (I have them swing as in the B2 first), all facing up/down in direction of progression. Intermediate/advanced (due to expectation-warping). Double progression many swings dance - particularly if sneaky! A1 (4,4) Handy Hand (G1 LH, L1 RH) Neighbor Balance, Twirl to Swap into Mirror Waves (1s face out, 2s in) (4,4) Wave Balance Fwd & Back, Handy Hand Allemande 1/2x A2 (4,4) Wave Balance Fwd & Back, Handy Hand Allemande 1/2x (1s face out, 2s in) (8) Twos Swing in center, end facing UP (for cross-set play, 1s may meanwhile Mirror Turn Single on the outside to sneak a peek with/high five a shadow in the next line and face down) [Progression 1] B1 (4,12) Next Neighbor Balance & Swing B2 (4,12) Ones Only Balance & Swing in center, face down (2s can meanwhile sneak in a cross-set Swing w/a shadow in the next line over and face up with a ready Handy Hand) [Progression 2] NOTES: Tune: Daniel Boucher's "Circular Reel" was used as inspiration and fits well. Cautions for dancers: as a DP you're never out, and note your handy hand _and_allemande_direction_ changes at ends. Named after a game our 4+1/2 year old daughter Raeden calls "Sneaks", where she tries to stay in my blind spot while I try to catch sight of her (giggling herself silly the whole time). Dancers seem to really like this one, called at two Concord Scout House gigs during Feb. 2016. Short video at https://youtu.be/nF15xR3EwN4 . *This is all intended as an amusing way of getting out an improved revision to my original dance. This is a joke organization, really! -Don :)
