(Sent this to Chris Page a week ago and no answer!.. so I'm asking the hive
mind.)
Using the G-word until there's a widely accepted substitute that doesn't
need a footnote to explain.
from a dance-writing session led by Jeff Spero at a recent dance camp...
This Was Your Idea
by John Kelley, John Bartlett, Sandy Gabucan, Andy Shore
Contra/ Duple Improper
A1 -----------
(8) Gypsy Neighbor1 Right 1.5
(8) Gypsy Neighbor2 Left 1.5
A2 -----------.
(8) Gypsy Neighbor3 Right 1x come back ...
(8) Neighbor2 swing
B1 -----------
(4) Give & Take to Lady's Side
(12) Partner swing
B2 -----------
(8) Right and left through
(8) Balance the ring and spin to the right (petronella) to face N2
Note that the progression happens in A2.
The Petronella into a (right shoulder) Gypsy seems unusual. I don't have
any dances in my collection that do that. Dancing it with a test group
seemed to be fine.
Thoughts?
