You can start with dances where you see a next neighbor briefly but return to your first neighbor:
Sneak Preview (Claudio Buchwald) Poetry in Motion (Lisa Greenleaf) Stripes and Solids (Lisa Greenleaf) Mary Cay's Reel (David Kaynor) Or dances where you see a shadow briefly but return to your partner: Another Nice Combination (Tom Hinds) Summer of '94 (Mike Richardson (Lisa Greenleaf variation)) Then you can be with your shadow for a while longer: Chrysalis (Don Flaherty) - hey with your shadow, meet your partner Balance to My Lou (Becky Hill) - one of the many from the petronella with extra spin genre Or with your next neighbor for a while longer: Traveler's Welcome (Jim Kitch) - reasonably easy progressions forward and backward and forward Or see lots of neighbors: Vote with Your Feet (Bob Isaacs) - becket, so it's not as confusing for dancers out at the end Yoyo Zhou On Wed, Feb 6, 2013 at 6:40 AM, Jack Mitchell <[email protected]> wrote: > Here are two: > > Another Nice Combination - Tom Hinds > > A1 N B&S > A2 Circle L 3/4, pass partner -- shadow DsD 1x > B1 P B&S > B2 Ladies Chain, Left Hand Star > > You're just barely out of your minor set, and it's generally the same > person.
