Hi Rickey
I have a five person dance in a diamond:
http://www.dancekaleidoscope.org.au/dance.html#Crossroads.
Crossroads
5 people, four in a diamond, one in the middle, numbered clockwise from
the top with 5 in the middle
A1 1 and 2, 3 and 4 do-si-do, starting right shoulder
The same swing (crossed hands)
A2
5 faces right and hey for three across the set with 2 and 4, starting
right shoulders, while 1 and 3 orbit anti-clockwise all the way around
the set
B1 5 faces up and hey for three up and down the set with 1 and 3,
starting left shoulders, while 2 and 4 orbit clockwise all the way
around the set
B2 1 and 5 two-hand turn 1 1/2 to change places
Balance the ring around the new 5 and Petronella turn to next position
to the right (anti-clockwise)
And a five couple dance in Levi Jackson formation:
http://www.dancekaleidoscope.org.au/dance.html#Rubigold.
Rubigold
Five couples in a horseshoe
A1 Side couples left hand star once around at each end (leaving enough
room between the two stars for the tops to pass through); top couple
crosses, passing right shoulder, and cast to between the two stars
Side couples right hand star once around at each end; top couple
crosses between the stars, passing right shoulder, and cast to the bottom
A2 Sides hey for four along their lines, starting right shoulder with
partner; tops cross, passing right shoulder, and cast back to the top
(improper)
Tops right allemande 1 1/2; while sides complete their hey
B1 Grand chain six places (one bar per change) starting right hand with
partner (12 steps)
Take the next in a lower promenade hold and promenade one place
anti-clockwise (men finish one place clockwise in the set, women finish
two places clockwise) (4 steps)
B2 Balance and swing partner
I've written some other five person diamond dances, but haven't tested
them out yet.
Cheers
Keith
Hi callers, have you any dances for evenings when only
a few folks
show up, say 10 or 12 or under, other than squares.
