Hi Rich, Here's the second dance "Naked in California" by Nils Fredland. The name of the dance goes something like this:
The dance was called "the No Name Dance" for short time. I ran into Nils somewhere (can't remember which State) and told him he needed to get a name for that dance because it was getting picked up quickly and being called by callers like Susan Petrick, (who travels a lot) etc. Around that same time, Nils had just called at the very popular Dance Awakening contra dance weekend in California, which happens to be held at Harbin Hot Springs, where in between lots of dancing, there is lots of hot tub soaking..... (clothing optional), hence the name of the dance.... It's a great dance with two neighbor swings with the same N Enjoy, Karen Fontana Naked in California (previously No Name Dance) Duple Improper Contra by Nils Fredland, NH Two N Swg (same N) A1: (8) LL Fwd & Bck (8) N Swg A2: (4) Ladies Al R 1/2x across to P (4) P Al L 3/4x to Shadow Shadow = (the first person you would Al Rt w/ facing up & Dwn) (8) Shadow Al R 1.5x to long wavy lines up & down Gents face IN; Ladies face OUT B1: (4) Long Wavy Lines Bal Rt, Left (4) Slide or twirl Rt, (ROM) into Ps arms (8) P Swg B2: (6) Cir L 3/4x (10) N Swg (same N as Swg in A1) Rich Goss <richg...@comcast.net> wrote: I danced a dance tonight that started with allemande N by right 1.5, w/next balance and swat the flea, pull by back to original N for a swing. It had Flea in the name and I think Bob Isaacs may have written it. Does anyone have the correct name, author, moves? These may be the moves: A1: N Alle R 1.5, next N balance L and swat the flea.
