If this were Facebook I'd be clicking on that Laughing Out Loud icon.
This s the only move in contra where I actually lost a partner.  She was walking backward and tripped over the person behind her and they both went down,.

Hey y'all!

After a lovely weekend of both Contra and English at Youth Dance Weekend, I had an itch for programming some English-inspired choreography at BIDA last night. Since I didn't have a dance with the figures I wanted, I whipped one together on the drive home, tested it in the driveway, and debuted it last night. Success!

Now the question, of course, is whether or not someone already wrote it!

Amble On East
Becket CCW

A1: Long Lines Forward & Back
      Ladies Chain Across (to Neighbor)
A2: Ladies Dosido 1x
      Neighbor Swing
B1: Give & Take, Gents draw Partner into 1/2 Poussette CCW
      With NEXT, Gypsy Star* 3/4 (Ladies backing up)
B2: Partner (Long) Swing

*Do we have a new name for this figure yet? I called it Gypsy Star in the walkthrough once or twice before realizing I should maybe figure something else out, and the phrase "Special Star" actually escaped my mouth, to the absolute delight of some of the dancers.  During the dance itself, I just called "Star."
