While, the video the Bill pointed to is similar, note that Tony was calling to a VERY experienced group of dancers at that event and did things that we would not do at an ONS. You will note that the version of Kitchen Lancers I used did not include the down the center cast out to lines forward and back. It does, however, show you how the slides are done.
The version I notated is, indeed, AABBCC (so if done to a standard AABB tune, every other time you are starting the figure on the B part, not a problem. There are lots of squares like that.) -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Jerome Grisanti I enjoyed picturing all those squares you shared -- sure sounds like a fun program. I do have a question about Kitchen Lancers. Since you indicated well-phrased New Englandy tunes, does that break evenly into an AABB structure? If so, can you indicate those phrases? I also presume that after the sides jump in, the formation resembles a longways proper set as for Virginia Reel. Is the sliding across the hall (couples), or up and down the hall (lines)?
