Re: [Callers] New Dance- St George's Day Contra

Hi All, Whilst on a walk with my dogs recently enjoying the remarkably good weather we have in the UK at the moment, I ended up writing a dance in my head that I thought might be quite nice. Well after a bit of refinement, it seems to work nicely (although I haven’t tried it out with a big group of dancers yet). At the moment It is called ’St George’s Day Contra’ for the simple reason that it is St Georges day on Tuesday and I couldn’t think of a better name for it, but I am hoping that one will pop into my head soon. Please let me know what you think. Longways: 1s Improper A1: (16) Neighbour balance & swing A2: (8) Lines forward & back; (8) Ladies allemande RH _WHILST_ gents orbit CW and loop wide ^*1 to flow into… B1: (16) Partner balance & swing B2: (8) Promenade across {ladies passing R} ^*2 ; (6) Circle L ¾; (2) Pass through. NB *1 Gents cross the set and turn R wide so that it uses up all the music and it will flow into the balance & swing. *2 Ladies need to pass R shoulder so that you turning R as a unit and it should flow nicely into the circle L ¾. P.S Here is a link to the music I have used, It’s on Spotify so whether everyone will be able to get it, I don’t know https://open.spotify.com/track/40dgK9bzB6NiR3tRUmNTdL?si=lGmyeXhlRO-fNkDrNP… Many Thanks, Liam Binley. liam.binley(a)me.com <mailto:liam.binley@me.com> _______________________________________________ List Name: Callers mailing list List Address: Callers(a)lists.sharedweight.net Archives: https://www.mail-archive.com/callers@lists.sharedweight.net/
