Re: [Callers] Fwd: Glossary dances with promenade, no chain/RL through?

by Alexandra Deis-Lauby

Yes! I love the promenade and loop, though I wouldn’t use it early in the evening with a bus load of beginners unless the experienced folks were really experienced.

[Callers] Glossary dances with promenade, no chain/RL through?

by Allison Jonjak

Running a quick search on ContaDB.com turns up 22 that have a promenade across, with no chain and no R&L through. One that does have a chain, but is still good as a glossary dance (as described in its note) is https://contradb.com/dances/599 Devin Pohly's 'Like I've Known You Forever'.

by Rich Sbardella

Hello Maia, I put one together a couple of years ago. I tried to make the timing as forgiving as possible, thus the Balance the Ring and Pass Thru, instead of CL 3/4 & Pass Thru. My Corduroy Blazer (D/I) A1: N DSD, N Swg A2: Gents Alle L 1-1/2. P Swg B1: Prom Across, LL B2: CL 3/4.

[Callers] Glossary dance

by Tom Hinds

I don’t know if the dance below qualifies as a glossary dance but it’s one is one of my favorites for building confidence when there are loads of newbies. I’ve tried to find out the name but have had no luck. Just teach the Pet twirl well and tie the end of the B2 to the beginning of the A1 during the walk through and it’s very accessible. I would tend to use it more for younger newbies than older ones. A1,A2. Balance, pet. 4X B1 circle left, swing neighbor B2. Forward and back, ones swing. Tom Hinds Sent from my iPad
