I have a big circle mixer I really like, I'm not sure who wrote it or the name
of it, perhaps if someone else recognizes it they can help me out there. I just
call it the Balance and Pass mixer so I know what it is.
A1) Balance and Swing Partner
A2) Promenade for 8, Twirl Promenade for eight. (See explanation below)
B1) Balance your partner, pass by the next,
Balance the next, pass by the next,
B2) Balance the next, pass by the next
Do si do the next, (this is your new partner)
The promenade is for 8 counts in Varsovienne position, at which point the man
raises his right hand and the woman twirls beneath his hand as they continue
moving forward for another 8 counts, ending with the woman facing around the
circle in the opposite direction from the man, with their right hands still
joined. For the balances, start with your partner balance, then pull by partner
and walk past the next person you meet. Balance the next, pull by and skip one
again, repeat, then finally do-si-do the one you meet.
It's a fun and energetic dance, people usually get it quickly.
I also wrote a big circle mixer inspired by one of Ted Sanella's, and it works
pretty well:
Ted's Waves
A1) Forward and back
Women go forward, return facing out to form a wave, partner in right
hand
A2) Balance the wave, allemande partner 1X
Balance the wave, allemande left neighbor 1X
B1) Do si do partner
Swing the same neighbor
B2) Promenade the set
