CRAPO Dance Recall Notice DCAv1, 20160227

Dear Dance Leader,

The Choreography Registration And Publication Office* (CRAPO) Safety Division (SD), in partnership with dance author Don Veino, jointly announce a voluntary recall of his dance composition "Double Crossed Again", version 1.

In order to prevent dancer dissatisfaction and maximize enjoyment for the future, we have agreed this joint voluntary recall. Mr. Veino has re-imagined the dance to address a flow violation and has revised the composition to improve dancer enjoyment.

As a potential consumer of this composition (via participation on the Shared Weight Callers forum), we provide this notice to you. As sole compensation for your potentially sub-optimal experience, CRAPO SD have reached an agreement with Mr. Veino to supply you a fully tested second revision of the original composition plus a bonus dance for your inconvenience (his new "Sneaks & Peeks"), see below.

Should you wish to opt out of this recall, please delete this entire message and discard your copy of the original version dance in a safe manner, in compliance with applicable local hazardous waste regulations.

Best Regards,

Abed A. Dan, S.E.

CRAPO Chief Safety Engineer

____________________________________________

Set up with Ones slightly between Twos to ID handy hands (I have them swing as in the B2 first), all facing up/down in direction of progression. Intermediate/advanced (due to expectation-warping). Double progression many swings dance - particularly if sneaky!

[Progression 1]

B1

(4,12) Next Neighbor Balance & Swing

B2
(4,12) Ones Only Balance & Swing in center, face down (2s can meanwhile sneak in a cross-set Swing w/a shadow in the next line over and face up with a ready Handy Hand)

[Progression 2]

NOTES:

Tune: Daniel Boucher's "Circular Reel" was used as inspiration and fits well.

Cautions for dancers: as a DP you're never out, and note your handy hand _and_allemande_direction_ changes at ends.

Named after a game our 4+1/2 year old daughter Raeden calls "Sneaks", where she tries to stay in my blind spot while I try to catch sight of her (giggling herself silly the whole time).

Dancers seem to really like this one, called at two Concord Scout House gigs during Feb. 2016. Short video at https://youtu.be/nF15xR3EwN4 .

*This is all intended as an amusing way of getting out an improved revision to my original dance. This is a joke organization, really!  -Don :)
