[Callers] Halloween

[Keith Wood]

One of mine:


    Polka-geist

Formation: Becket formation, reverse progression

Music: 32 bar polkas

Source: Keith Wood November 2014

Notes: Someone at dancing mentioned "Polka-geist" as a pun. What a great 
dance name I thought. So developed a Contra dance with a polka feel and 
scary and back-to-front moves.

A1 	In ballroom hold, gallop across the set, the couple on the women's 
normal side separating to let the couple on the men's normal side pass 
through (4 beats)

	Polka balance towards the centre of the set (4 beats)

	Gallop across the set, the couple on the women's side separating to let 
the couple on the men's side through (4 beats)

	Polka balance towards the centre of the set (4 beats)
A2 	Polka once around the other couple and continue anti-clockwise 
around the set to progress to the next couple
B1 	Allemande partner right half-way (4 beats)

	Balance the long wavy lines (make a face or say boo to your neighbour) 
(4 beats)

	Allemande partner right half-way (4 beats)

	Balance the long wavy lines (make a face or say boo to your neighbour) 
(4 beats)
B2 	Men's chain across and back, left hand to other man, right hand to
