This one is in the "Midwestern Folklore" and "Will You Mary Me?" tradition of being two nearly identical halves.Hello all.It's been a while since I've had enough folks at a house party to really walk through a 4x4 dance, so I'm sending this out for comment: I'm trying to increase my repertoire of accessible and entertaining 4x4s (my double reverse progression 4x4, etc, not qualifying)
Plow and Cross Stitch
by Luke Donforth
Contra/Four Facing Four
A1 -----------
(8) Lines of four, forward and back
(8) Women's Chain up & down to facing neighbor
A2 -----------
(8) 1/2 Hey up & down, women passing right shoulders
(8) Neighbor swing (end facing partner, Women's line of direction; men opposite initial facing.)
B1 -----------
(8) Women's Chain up and down to partner, power turn to face trail buddy couple
(8) 1/2 Hey across, women passing right shoulders
B2 -----------
(16) Partner balance and swingIt could go lines of four again in B1, then the chain and power turn, with B2 being half hey and just a swing; but I figured try for the partner balance and longer swing.I'd appreciate hearing folks thoughts (too repetitive? too disorienting? basically X's dance Y), as well as your own favorite 4x4s; and why. My personal favorite is Rick Mohr's "Dance All Night", because you get a grand right and left in a contra.Take care,
