Hi Everyone

Here's a dance I wrote for a friend's birthday - Caught in the Nette. 
The new formation is a duple cross - a duple improper set with an extra 
person in the middle of each minor set. It has a double progression for 
couples and the middle person in each set doesn't progress, but those 
around them do.

See an animation of the dance at

    Caught in the Nette

Formation:Duple cross - duple improper with an extra person in the 
middle of each minor set

Music:32 bar reels or jigs

Notes:For Jeanette "Nette" Pembroke's 60th birthday.

The middle person in each set doesn't progress, but the couples they 
dance with do (double progression)! Hence they are caught in the net at 
that spot.

A1 	Men and middle half hey, middle passing right shoulder with 2nd man 
to start; women turn out clockwise

	Women and middle half hey, middle passing right shoulder with 2nd woman 
to start; men turn out anti-clockwise
A2 	1s and 2s half rights-and-lefts, starting with partner

	1s do-si-do; while 2s cross giving right hand and move to the end of a 
line of five; middle steps back into the centre of the line
B1 	Line of five down the hall (6 beats), ends turn alone, while middles 
turn man's side high, woman's side low, to invert the three (4 beats), 
back up the hall and bend the line (6 beats)
B2
	Circle half-way (4 beats) and balance the ring (4 beats)

	Middle and 1s arch down over 2s, all moving forward (4 beats)

	Middle take hands with new 2s below and draw them back between the 1s 
(double progression), 1s and 2s moving forward; 2s that reach the top 
switch sides (4 beats)



Cheers

Keith Wood
