Sorry about that. 4-in-line (1s between 2s) facing down the hall, 4 steps down the hall and turn alone to face back up, 4 more steps down the hall (backing up, since facing up the hall), 4 steps up the hall and turn alone to face back down, 4 more steps up the hall (backing up, since now facing down). The trick is to make the 8 steps down the hall one fluid motion, even with the turn alone in the middle, and the same for the return. In the walkthrough I call it as "Down, down, down, turn alone, backup, backup, backup, backup. Forward, forward, forward, turn, backup, backup, backup, backup". In the dance itself I generally just call it as "Dublin Bay", since it's a really easy figure for dancers to remember once they get it. -Grant- On Fri, Mar 2, 2012 at 9:20 AM, Perry Shafran <[email protected]> wrote: > If I may ask, what is this Dublin Bay figure that is noted here? > > Thanks! > > Perry > > --- On Fri, 3/2/12, Grant Goodyear <[email protected]> wrote: > > From: Grant Goodyear <[email protected]> > Subject: Re: [Callers] St. Paddy Day theme dances? > To: "Caller's discussion list" <[email protected]> > Date: Friday, March 2, 2012, 10:12 AM > > Another dance w/ a cloverleaf figure, if not an overtly Irish name, is Sue > Rosen's awesome Handsome Young Maids: > > Handsome Young Maids (Sue Rosen, 1996) > -------------------------------------- > > Improper, 1s bet 2s facing dn in line of 4 > > ==== ===== === > A1. \(16) Dublin Bay, end in ring > A2. \( 8) Cir lf > .. \( 8) Bal ring, "cloverleaf"(*) turn single > B1. \(16) N bal & sw > B2. \( 8) Long lines > .. \( 8) 1s sw > ==== ===== === > > * W turn single over lf sh, M turn single over rt sh > > On Thu, Mar 1, 2012 at 7:11 PM, Dorcas Hand <[email protected]> wrote: > > > > > I'm calling a dance on March 17 - does anyone have a few - even one - > > dance that would work to pick up the theme?
