Re: She’s Playing Hard To Get

Got this Beckett formation dance by Beth Molaro (or at least marked that way) in my deck that I haven’t called in a long time. But it doesn’t seem to time out when I walk through it. Here’s what I have: W walk around partner by right then cross left to swing neighbor. LL F&B, W chain across. W pass right for 1/2 hey, partners swing Look right to circle left with new neighbors Seems too short to me. I thought maybe the first cross by the left was 1/2 hey then women cross again to swing neighbor (which is how I vaguely recall it) but that seems too long. What dumb thing am I missing?

(see below) A couple of additional things I do with it. 1) Blob up and down (Down and Up?) Hold hands in small blobs or giant blobs and go down and up with appropriate blobbish sound effects. 2) Blob ALL the Way Around -- do si do as Blobs (When you have at least two lines so you can form two giant blobs) Get the blobs circling left and encourage them to go around each other -- kind of like a giant bouquet waltz. Success rates will vary when doing this but it will assuredly create a lot of movement, confusion and laughter, even if everything falls apart. The Blob Sherry Nevins? Longways proper for as many as will with partners (any age, any gender) facing each other in a long line. Starting at the top, join hands in groups of 4 or 6; this is your blob. 1 - Long lines forward and back 2 - Forward and back again 3 - Partners right elbow around 4 - Partners left elbow around 5 - Blobs join hands and circle left 6 - Circle right, back to place (top blob keep holding hands, others jump WAY back from partner) 7-8 Top blob sashay down the center, others clap in time, & move up towards the top -- Ridge Kennedy [Exit 145] www.ridgekennedy.com When you stumble, make it part of the dance.
