I wrote a dance that, when I finished it, I realized the A was the same as 3-33,33: http://contradances.tumblr.com/post/10510984149/ants-marching
It's gone over well, and has an easier finish. There's one move to teach very carefully. (I uh ... sorta created a variation of a left-hand-high-right-hand-low that goes into a swing ... called a Loop Di Doo). It's been picked up by a few other callers, so, I know it's not totally awful. in dance, Ron T Blechner On Thu, Jun 20, 2013 at 5:35 PM, Bree Kalb <[email protected]> wrote: > I agree with Michael.
