I have a wonderful dance in my box that I enjoy dancing and calling - but do not know who wrote it…. can anyone tell me who wrote it? Also - is this the correct name since another caller said they had a dance called “the Cows are Watching” ? Anyone have any other “Cow” dances since we are on a theme ? The Cows go Marching by _________________ A1 (8) Long lines, forward and back (8) Women allemande Right 1-1/2 A2 (16) Neighbor balance and swing B1 (8) Balance the ring (8) Gents Roll/Sashay Partner across set B2 (4) Zig to Left (w/Partner), (4) Zag to Right and Gents catch by Left (8) Men allemande Left 1x to Partner Swing Thanks - Cheryl Cheryl Joyal clmjoyal(a)gmail.com <mailto:clmjoyal@gmail.com> clmjoyal(a)aol.com <mailto:clmjoyal@aol.com> 630-667-3284 (cell) Cheryl Joyal clmjoyal(a)gmail.com clmjoyal(a)aol.com 630-667-3284 (cell)

Cary Ravitz has The Cows are Watching (which looks quite close to what you have) on a page of dances he's collected - link below. http://www.miscdances.ravitz.us/#cw Meg On Wed, Mar 22, 2017 at 9:34 AM Cheryl Joyal via Callers < callers(a)lists.sharedweight.net> wrote:

Cheryl, It looks like a fun dance but there's a mistake in the B1: an eight-beat balance and an eight-beat roll away? On Mar 22, 2017, at 10:32 AM, Cheryl Joyal via Callers wrote:

You're right, Tom, about the B1, but I think the timing overall still works. The gents allemande and swing were shorted some time. I think the second half should look something like this: B1 (4) Balance the ring (4) Gents Roll/Sashay Partner across set (4) Zig to Left (w/Partner), (4) Zag to Right and Gents catch by Left B2 (16) Men allemande Left 1x to Partner Swing The B1 is tight this way so there will be some people behind, but the allemande is forgiving and so B2 can afford to have a fuzzy start and still get a long enough swing.

Thanks - you are correct that I had written it incorrectly and Appreciate the update. When I called it, I found that everyone tried to “rush the zig/zag” and next time I will teach as a big zig 4 steps left and then big zag back…..

I believe that zig left, zag right normally takes 4 beats. If the dancers zag a little farther so men can easily take a left hand that would take an additional 2 beats for a total of 6 counts. I'll confirm the timing this Saturday. For me there's this issue of how much we ask the dancers to adjust. It seems that asking dancers to adjust is common in English and perhaps less common in contra. Tom

I tend to think of the zig as four beats and the zag as four more. Four total would be zesty or rushed, depending on the crowd and music. Jerome On Friday, March 24, 2017, Tom Hinds via Callers < callers(a)lists.sharedweight.net> wrote:
