[Callers] Questions about Joy Ride by Erik Weberg

[Rickey]

Hi All,

We tried “Joy Ride” by Erik Weberg.  My questions are in all caps.

The dance as I have it is:

A1       Gypsy Neighbor (for 8 counts)

                        DANCERS FINISHED EARLY.  THEY THOUGHT THAT THEY DID
NOT HAVE ENOUGH TO DO

            Mad Robin (for 8 counts) – Women (ones and twos ??? ) on the
inside first.

A2       ½ Poussette – (for 8 counts) couples change places by going
clockwise around each other; gents pull to start

DANCERS TENDED TO START THIS EARLY.  THEY THOUGHT THAT THIS WAS BECAUSE THEY
FINISHED THE GYPSY IN A1 EARLY, THEN DID THE MAD ROBIN EARLY TOO.

            3 changes of a hey (for 8 counts) – men passing left shoulders
to start

            DANCERS FOUND THAT THEY WERE DOING ONE ENTIRE HEY, NOT ¾ OF A
HEY.  SOME FELT THAT THE HEY STARTED AWKWARDLY, A LITTLE AT AN ANGLE; OTHERS
FELT THAT THIS WAS TRUE BUT THAT THEY WERE ABLE TO ADJUST.

B1        All Swing Partner (for 16 counts)

B2        Lady’s Chain over (for 8 counts)

            Star Left (for 8 counts)
