Re: [Callers] Pousettes - Import1

14 Jun 2015

Here's what I've got in my deck:

*Joyride** by Erik Weberg* || improper (adv'd)
*A1:* N gypsy; mad robin
*A2:* half pousette CW (gents backing up); half hey (gents by L)
*B1:* gents pass L once more to cross set and swing P*
*B2:* ladies chain; LH star 1x

*originally written this way, but dancers need encouraging to not arrive at
P too early. Alternately, just call this as a P b&s.

*Fiddlers' Fling** by Cary Ravitz* || improper (adv'd)
*A1:* N b&s
*A2:* mad robin (gents front first)
1/2 pousette w/ P (ladies backing up)
*B1:* gypsy star 3/4*; P swing
*B2:* R/L thru; ladies chain

*gents take L & ladies R, keep free hand w/ P; ladies go fwd & gents back

  You can often convert dances with a couple dosido to a
pousette to achieve
 either:
 -better connection with a (often novice) partner (particularly if the dosi
 seems to be happening slowly relative to the music) or
 -a "tighter" configuration for crowded conditions.

 The path on the floor being the same, it rarely has a negative impact on
 others - provided you take care to face properly at the finish.

  Hi: One of the newer additions to the contra
dance repertory, and one
 that I like, is the pousette -- in all its variations.  I'm interested in
 gathering dances with pousettes in them and would like to receive
 suggestions/recommendations.  Thanks, George Mercer
