There was quite a bit of discussion a while back about this dance on the
trad-dance-caller list. Here's what emerged:
The Bluemont Reel (Warren Hofstra) duple improper
possibly the first contra with circle 3/4 in it (rather than 1x or 1/2)
A1 Circle left; Swing neighbor on the side of the set
A2 Circle left 3/4; Swing partner on the side of the set,
end the swing facing down
B1 Down four in line, turn as couples; Up four in line
B2 Ladies chain across; Long lines forward and back
and yes, the version published in Zesty Contras was a little different:
A1 Circle L 1/2, Sw Nbr
A2 Circle L 3/4; Sw Pt
B1 DH4inL, Turn as a Cple, bend the line
B2 Wm Chain; R&L Thru
Just as a minor note to others on this list, please avoid using special
characters for fractions-- they don't translate equally to all machines. Thanks!
