Hi, I've come up with what I believe to be a new dance today... or is it? A name awaits confirmation.
I'm interested in opinion on the best starting point for the dance. I originally wrote the first version but it requires explaining the set-up and I prefer keeping words to a minimum while teaching. The rotated second version begins very straightforwardly but could mix up some dancers whom are used to heys at the end of many dances being the progression leading to a neighbor swing with/to a new neighbor. Thanks, Don DV#3 Alpha A DI, starts with 1s below 2s (swap places with opp. role N) A1 4,4 Long Lines Fwd, G Roll L w/HS on way back 8 Mad Robin, G start into middle first A2 2,2 Mad Robin continued 1/4 more*, all slide to new Ns* (progression) 4,8 G Allem. Rt. 1/2, P Swing B1 8 L Chain 8 Hey 1/2 (L start by Rt., P Lt., G Rt. ...) B2 4,12 N Bal. & Swing * After the 1st 2 beats of A2 there is a transitory line of 4 facing across the hall - two G are face to face in the center, L is facing her N's back. All slide dir. of progression w/P so at beat 4 there is a similar line with new Ns. The timing in the A2 is "squishy" but generous and the swing should bring it back into phrase alignment. At ends, wait out facing P to slide in for G allemande. ============= DV#3 Alpha B DI A1 4,12 N Bal. & Swing A2 4,4 Long Lines Fwd, G Roll L w/HS on way back 8 Mad Robin, G start into middle first B1 2,2 Mad Robin continued 1/4 more, all slide to new Ns (progression) 4,8 G Allem.
