Witches' Cauldron by Kirsten Koths is a favorite of mine - Becket Sicilian Mixer - easy moves for the inclusion of beginners, and a very unusual progression (see Notes at <http://www.quiteapair.us/calling/acdol/dance/acd_184.html>) to keep the experienced dancers entertained. I do _not_ recommend it if you have more than 20% beginners on the floor.The tune *OLD GREY CAT*’s a VERY GOOD MATCHin rhythm and mood. I've had fun introducing it with a witchy chant: /Double, double, toil and trouble; fire burn, and cauldron bubble!/ /Come and stir my pot with me. Bring a partner; come and see!/ When we dance *Witches’ Cauldron*, we’ll be stirring the pot this way and that; things will bubble up; there’ll be eddies and lumps.

Re: [Callers] Demolition Derby, a 4 Face 4 of dubious do-ability?

by Luke Donforth

The sense I have of the A2 bit is that you've combined a mad robin with a hey, right? I'd start with that as the description. It's just a hey passing the one you swung by right shoulder, but you're facing your partner in the other line of four as you go. And if it's not a hey, but in fact something a little different then a hey in terms of the switches, then I'd try to see if it would work as a mad robin hey... But then, I'm not actually sure what you mean by weave the ring in B1; so possibly I should get some more sleep after my own gigs.

Don - I don't understand why Americans are so keen on this "Mad Robin" move. Instead of staring at your partner the whole time, why not interact with other people and just do a hey for four? Colin Hume

Well Don, you know you shouldn't be smoking that stuff....... ))) Sugar Hill is next weekend. We should be able to wrangle up enough dancers to give this a decent walk-thru. This looks like a great dance to tryout at 4:00 in the morning. :::wink::: If I have this right you are weaving the line, but faced like you are a crab. This is one of those I think a demo set would be the most expedient teach the A2. Get 8 dancers walked through it before the dance starts or at the break. If I have this right you are weaving the line of 4 facing up & down the hall, faced like you are a crab. Looks like it might be fun!

[Callers] Demolition Derby, a 4 Face 4 of dubious do-ability?

by Don Veino

Earlier today, I resurrected a draft dance from (almost exactly) this time last year which I'd put aside as probably being too crazy. In looking at it again, I started wondering if it is... too crazy... and wrote up a more specific description to get it across to others. The magnet people show me it works, but they don't say much about how it felt. :-) As I'm still up due to the caffeine I drank to drive home after a gig tonight, I thought I'd type this up and throw it out there for input. Is it too crazy? How would you teach the A2 if you attempted it? Thanks, Don Demolition Derby (DRAFT) - 4 Face 4 - Don Veino 20170823 (updated description 20180817) [starts in lines/4, so G1, L1, G2, L2] A1 Give & Take up/down to Gents (opposites Swing) [ends in line/4 facing up/down: G1, OpL2, G2, OpL1] A2 "Crazy Eights" [Fig 8 in current lines/4 done a la a Mad Robin - all trace path of a figure 8, equidistant rel. to Partner, whom you face up/down in the other line/4]: (3,1 or 4) Mad Robin CW 1/2x around opposite N you swung [G thru center first], OpL1 pass in front of G1 in middle to swap ends [to OpL2, OpL1, G1, G2] (3,1 or 4) All Pass Same Role Trail Buddy in Fig 8 arc (same arc, but opposite dir.) to trade places [G1 and OpL1 take outside path - "insides out"], OpL2 pass in front of G2 in middle to swap ends [to OpL1, G2, OpL2, G1] (3,1 or 4) Mad Robin CCW 1/2x around opposite N [G thru center first], OpL1 pass in front of G1 in middle to swap ends [to G2, G1, OpL1, OpL2] (3,1 or 4) All Pass Same Role Trail Buddy in Fig 8 arc (same arc, opposite dir.) to trade places [G1 and OpL1 take outside path - "insides out"], OpL2 pass in front of G2 in middle to swap ends [to end in same positions as start of A2: G1, OpL2, G2, OpL1] B1 w/Opposites Circle/4 Left 3/4x to (face & Pass Partner Right to start) Weave the Ring/8 1/2x B2 Partner Balance (or Gypsy) and Swing, face progression BTW, it was this dance idea that fed what became another related dance on my site, Wild Mouse: http://veino.com/blog/?p=1879 .

Re: [Callers] 2 new contra dance compositions

Hey Andy, I think I still stand by my preference for the hey to go by the other shoulder with the ladies dancing straight forward, rather than weaving, especially having danced both roles for your dance the two nights you called it up in Seattle. Here's the dance I mentioned, as well, with my take on the revolve-to-hey figure: https://contradb.com/dances/403 Take care, Isaac On Thu, Aug 16, 2018, 1:50 PM Andy Shore via Callers < callers(a)lists.sharedweight.net> wrote: > Both of these have been road tested on tour with Polaris. > > > *Serving REELness* > > Andy Shore > > Type: Contra > > Formation: Duple-Improper > > Level: Intermediate > > > A1 ----------- > > (16) Neighbor balance and swing > > A2 ----------- > > (8) Revolving Door - Ladies in center by the right but** > > (8) 1/2 Hey, pass partner by left > > B1 ----------- > > (16) Partner balance and swing > > B2 ----------- > > (8) Circle Left 3/4 and pass through along the set > > (8) [Next] Neighbor Do-si-do > > > Notes: **release revolving door a little early so that Gents are in the > opposite Lady’s spot & have time to turn toward their right (tight loop) to > come in for the left shoulder pass > > > I'd introduce Revolving Doors with a simpler dance that goes into a Swing. > E.g., the RD variation of Bronwyn Wood's "The Missing Piece" > > > > The world premiere with walk thru & dance was captured on video by Doug > Plummer here: https://youtu.be/uAZCZzm1tI8 > Not mentioned in that debut was the early release of the Gents from > Revolving Door and their tight loop to the right > > The title comes from the FX TV show "Pose". > > > > *Alpha Ursae Minoris* > > Andy Shore > > Type: Contra > > Formation: Becket-CCW [no circle] > > Level: Advanced (Weekend/Challenging level) > > > * ID shadow beyond partner in becket > > A1 ----------- > > (8) Promenade across the Set (J hook to progress) > > (8) Mad Robin - ladies in front > > A2 ----------- > > (8) Neighbor RH Across - Balance & Box the Gnat (don't let go) > > (8) with N & Shadow, Square Thru 4 (no balances) - make the 4th hand an > Allemande Left 1/2 w/ Shadow > > [to long waves with Gents facing OUT, partner in RH, shadow in LH] > > B1 ----------- > > (4,4) Balance the Wave, Box Circulate > > (8) Neighbor swing > > B2 ----------- > > (4,2) [1/4 ricochet hey] Gents go in and push back on diagonal, Ladies > Cross passing Left > > (10) Swing Partner > > > Notes: ** when out with partner, cross over & be ready for Balance & Box > the Gnat to be there for Square thru with Shadow & P > > > Take time to ID N & Shadow for square thru = the ONLY 2 people you touch! > This is outside your minor set! > > > This is a high piece count dance with little chance for recovery. *Not > for the faint of heart! *Probably should introduce figures in other > dances first - Mad Robin, Square Thru, ricochet hey, Box Circulate > > > Named after Polaris (the band) who helped me finalize this dance.

Andy, thanks for emphasizing the "ID your Shadow" and that you include the clue about which shadow. It's a pet peeve how many callers will call a shadow dance and never identity the shadow. It gives me the distinct impression that they don't even know they are calling a dance that has a shadow. Larry Jennings would be rolling over in his grave if he knew there were callers doing such things! :-) Best, Lisa On Thu, Aug 16, 2018 at 4:49 PM, Andy Shore via Callers < callers(a)lists.sharedweight.net> wrote: > Both of these have been road tested on tour with Polaris. > > > *Serving REELness* > > Andy Shore > > Type: Contra > > Formation: Duple-Improper > > Level: Intermediate > > > A1 ----------- > > (16) Neighbor balance and swing > > A2 ----------- > > (8) Revolving Door - Ladies in center by the right but** > > (8) 1/2 Hey, pass partner by left > > B1 ----------- > > (16) Partner balance and swing > > B2 ----------- > > (8) Circle Left 3/4 and pass through along the set > > (8) [Next] Neighbor Do-si-do > > > Notes: **release revolving door a little early so that Gents are in the > opposite Lady’s spot & have time to turn toward their right (tight loop) to > come in for the left shoulder pass > > > I'd introduce Revolving Doors with a simpler dance that goes into a Swing. > E.g., the RD variation of Bronwyn Wood's "The Missing Piece" > > > > The world premiere with walk thru & dance was captured on video by Doug > Plummer here: https://youtu.be/uAZCZzm1tI8 > Not mentioned in that debut was the early release of the Gents from > Revolving Door and their tight loop to the right > > The title comes from the FX TV show "Pose". > > > > *Alpha Ursae Minoris* > > Andy Shore > > Type: Contra > > Formation: Becket-CCW [no circle] > > Level: Advanced (Weekend/Challenging level) > > > * ID shadow beyond partner in becket > > A1 ----------- > > (8) Promenade across the Set (J hook to progress) > > (8) Mad Robin - ladies in front > > A2 ----------- > > (8) Neighbor RH Across - Balance & Box the Gnat (don't let go) > > (8) with N & Shadow, Square Thru 4 (no balances) - make the 4th hand an > Allemande Left 1/2 w/ Shadow > > [to long waves with Gents facing OUT, partner in RH, shadow in LH] > > B1 ----------- > > (4,4) Balance the Wave, Box Circulate > > (8) Neighbor swing > > B2 ----------- > > (4,2) [1/4 ricochet hey] Gents go in and push back on diagonal, Ladies > Cross passing Left > > (10) Swing Partner > > > Notes: ** when out with partner, cross over & be ready for Balance & Box > the Gnat to be there for Square thru with Shadow & P > > > Take time to ID N & Shadow for square thru = the ONLY 2 people you touch! > This is outside your minor set! > > > This is a high piece count dance with little chance for recovery. *Not > for the faint of heart! *Probably should introduce figures in other > dances first - Mad Robin, Square Thru, ricochet hey, Box Circulate > > > Named after Polaris (the band) who helped me finalize this dance.
