For a while I've wanted a dance with: - easy difficulty - 2 swings - a courtesy turn (promenade or chain) - everyone allemandes - a star - Ideally ladies doing one move together and gents doing one move together. - timing that isn't tight (Dayton 1.5 by Perry Shafran came very close, and I use that, but doesn't leave quite enough wiggle room for too many new dancers.) Basically, A Nice Combination / Simplicity Swing / The Baby Rose but with an everyone-allemandes. I was stumped. If you have a suggestion, I'm ears! This is what I've worked together. I called it last Friday at Greenfield, MA, with maybe 15% new dancers, and it worked well. Mistakes Happen, Have Fun Ron T Blechner Start: Duple Imp. Difficulty: Easy A1. Gents DSD 1x (6) NS (10) A2. Circle L 3/4 (6) PS (10) B1. LLFB (8) Ladies Chain (8) (to N) B2. Star L 1x (8) (to Next N) (Next) N Alle R 1.5x (8) (until gents face in)* * Technically, this dance is a reverse progression indecent dance. But don't tell the dancers this. It can be lined up improper and taught normally. Thanks, Ron
