It's a Pirate's Life for Me, by Nathanial Jack I got it from Nils Fredland's calling improper A1. N B+S A2. Pass through to a short wavey line/ocean wave* (4), Balance the wave R+L (4) Slide right (4), gents allemande left once (4)** B1. P B+S B2. Ladies allemande right 1 1/2 Neighbor allemande right 1 1/2 to new neighbor (actually 1 3/4, but who's counting) *everybody passes through across; ladies catch left hands, give right to neighbor in short wave -- ladies in the middle, gents on ends. **This is confusing during the walkthrough, since the gents actually have to slide past two people, unlike the usual wave balance/slide figure. As long as the gents allemande by the left hand, things will be fine -- you just have to make them beleive that's how the dance goes, really. -David Giusti ----- Original Message ----- From: Rickey <[email protected]> List-Post: [email protected] Date: Wednesday, September 26, 2007 7:19 am Subject: [Callers] Please Correct A Pirate To: [email protected] > Hi I have some more incomplete notes on dances.
