Re: [Callers] How would you teach this? What would you call it? - Import1

Well if you have ecd folks on the floor... 
bottoms star right once around and ease out and pause!  Gents will continue up the outside
of the set one place as the ladies cast up one place, AND the 1s lead down all the way to
the bottom. Go!

 Here's a crack at putting the star burst in a duple improper choreography.

 Stellar Star Burst
 Contra/Improper

 A1 -----------
 (16) Neighbor gyre and swing
 A2 -----------
 (8) Larks/Gents allemande Left 1-1/2
 (8) Partner swing
 B1 -----------
 (8) Long lines, forward and back
 (8) Left hand Star 3/4
 B2 -----------
 (8) Star Burst: ravens/ladies lead out, curve left; larks/gents lead back in (single
progression)
 (8) with new neighbors Right hand Star 1x

 I'm not positive on the timing of B1 & B2. There are a couple of places to adjust
it. This assumes giving folks a little extra time for the star burst, with a left hand
star 3/4x that probably won't take the full 8 counts. If A2 were circle left 3/4 &
partner swing. Then B1 becomes long lines forward and back with a left hand star 1 &
1/4; which would compress the starburst into ~6. You could also make it take more time
with a double progression (a wider out, loop, and in; although it might be hard to keep
track of). The gyre and swing at the A1 is pretty forgiving. 

 I don't know how different the star burst would feel from a poussette; the two are
very similar; and the above sequence could be rendered:

 A1 -----------
 (16) Neighbor gyre and swing
 A2 -----------
 (8) Larks allemande Left 1-1/2
 (8) Partner swing
 B1 -----------
 (8) Long lines, forward and back
 (8) Circle Right 3/4
 B2 -----------
 (8) Poussette (larks start push) to progress
 (8) With next neighbors Circle Left 1X

 I think I'd rather dance the first one than the second; but I'm not sure it's
worth the teaching time.

 I would probably get everyone into their final positions first before teaching the move,
so's that everyone knows where they'll end up.

 After that the language would look something like, "Star Right all the way around.
With your partner and without hands, slide out and away from the center of the set in the
direction that feels comfortable moving out of that star. Ones move up through the center.
Twos and Threes, slide back into the set into the positions we previewed earlier."

 It would be slightly easier to teach if it weren't proper! Then you could specify
who's leading whom for those slides.

 I like this move and would like to see a version of it in a duple improper choreography,
please! Sans the folks moving through the center, unfortunately.
