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-fNkDrNP4EOQ
