Re: [Callers] Callers Digest, Vol 43, Issue 7

Another easy fix for Country of Marriage, which maintains most of the original dance sequences would be: 
A1 and A2 the same
in the B1:
Right and left through (or promenade) and then a Roll away with a half sashay with partner, ladies rolling to the left, gents moving right. At this point, the men have their right arms free and can go into the center more easily for the allemande. In addition, the women move to the left, and thus help the couple progress more easily. 
The rest of the dance remains the same.

Hope this helps!
warmly, Linda Leslie

Gang,
By the way, Mary Kays Reel is a favorite and I enjoy changing roles in this dance ( the lady role rocks). There seems to be an awkward sequence in the B1 in the below referenced dance: B1 Promenade (the dance originally called for a right and left through 
here)
Gents allemande Right 3/4 to a fleeting long lineThe gents right hand may be behind the lady for the promenade then the gent has to reach out with his right hand for an allemande right without bopping his neighbor in the head or worse.
Do I have this right? While walking this in my living room it seems uncomfortable, has anyone dance this sequence to confirm this?

Susan Kevra's "The Country of Marriage" has that "Mary Cay's" move as well, 
done by the men.

Dan,

You're right, the move is awkward for the men. If I were going to
re-write the dance it might look something like this:

A1  Circle left 3/4, gents roll neighbor right
      1/2 hey (gents pass left)
A2  Neighbor bal. & swing
B1 Long lines
    Gents Al. Right 3/4, new gents Al. Left 3/4 (ladies take a step to
the left)
B2 Partner Bal. & swing

I have danced other dances with the gent's using this progression, but
can't think of them right now. Maybe someone else on this list has them 
in their collection and would like to share?
