Re: [Callers] Need help teleporting to other side of set - new dance

Hi Ken, How about: 1) (Balance Forward & Back) Men Orbit CW Half Way WHILE Ladies Allemande Left Half; Neighbour Swing 2) Travelling Gypsy Meltdown: Lock Eyes and the Man starts Orbiting CW with the Lady following, Gypsying around each other to the other side and melting into a Swing 3) Man turns to his right as he starts to Orbit CW, and walks backwards, beckoning the lady to follow, swing when you get to the other side 4) English Ceilidh Style: Swing while travelling to the other side – that is not very easy in a ballroom hold or with buzz-steps, so, instead of joining right hands at shoulder level for a wave, take a forearm Allemande hold (forearms together, hand hooked just above neighbour’s elbow) with left hands joined below, and swing using step-hop (single step/skip step) or 1-2-3-hop (double step/polka step). That way you get a 16 beat swing! :-) Happy dancing, John John Sweeney, Dancer, England john(a)modernjive.com 01233 625 362 & 07802 940 574 http://www.modernjive.com for Modern Jive Events & DVDs http://www.contrafusion.co.uk for Dancing in Kent
