You will need a good percentage of experienced dancers for this one; it is SO delightfully representative of a bubbling pot....!

Sicilian Circle-Mixer

Beg/Int

Notes from Oct 2010 4th Fri - YAY! Works with reminding gents that they are the anchors and they stay in their same inner or outer circle and ladies zig zag about as we stir the pot   We only had 6 sets of four dancing and it worked all right….

The tune OLD GREAY CAT’s a VERY GOOD MATCH  in rhythm and mood       

 

A1    After forming the sets, the two ladies trade places and face your partner (partners are together in the same – inner or outer - large ring)
(16) Partners balance and swing

A2    (8) Large rings go fwd & back; (8) Large rings circle right

B1    (8) Large rings circle left
(8) Original foursomes circle left 3/4 (you and your partner are now facing clockwise or counter-clockwise)

B2    (8) You and your partner as a cpl, dosido neighbor couple
(2) As individuals pass through along the set
This is the progression; the one you face is your new ptr
(6) New partners see-saw (left-shoulder dosido)

Author's Notes
This dance written for the Palo Alto Hallowe'en contradance. Composed Sept 10, 1988

Double, double, toil and trouble; fire burn, and cauldron bubble!

                Come and stir my pot with me. Bring a partner; come and see!
