I can send one of them!

The Dancing Frog

Jeffrey Spero February 25, 2001

Duple improper

A1 Neighbor balance and swing

A2 Ladies allemande right once-and-a-half

Partners swing

B1 Long lines forward and back, partners roll away with a half sashay

Gents chain across

B2 Partners right hand balance, box the gnat

Same four, right hand star

Author's notes: The gents chain in B1 is a true role reversal, with the men pulling by with their right hands - my favorite kind of gents chain!

This dance was composed for a dance medley during the 2001 Fiddling Frog Dance Festival in Los Angeles.

Thanks!

Any chance you could send Dancing Frog, Chain the Swain, and Digital Divide (I have this one in a notebook somewhere...)?

Hi Callers,

I'm working on a themed contra workshop called "Role Scramblers," and just realized that all of the dances I've shortlisted are very smooth. I'm looking for dances with elements for each dance role that are more typically danced by the other role (such as Jeff Spero's "Equal Opportunity," which has the ones chain). I have "Roll Away Sue" by Bob Isaacs (a gent's chain), but would love other dances with balances and waves that might fit this theme.

Some that I have that are more balancey (feel free to email me if you need the notes):

The Dancing Frog by Jeff Spero - gents do a right-hand chain

Chain the Swain by Becky Hill - gents do a right-hand chain

Coming Home from Toohollie by Janet Shepherd - ladies rollaway partners into a swing; petronella

The Digital Divide by Jeremy Korr - alternates gents/ladies chain and give-and-take to gents'/ladies' side; balance + square thru
