Hi.
There is an old dance called "Joy," which comes to mind from the name of
the last post author. It has been in my files for decades, i do not know
the devisor, and was used in the Delaware Valley RSCDS for a time 30 years
ago:
Joy
proper duple minor
A1 Lines forward and back,
1st col cross and cast to 2nd place, 2nd col move up.
A2 Star Rt (hands across)
Ladies chain half way.
B1 Hey for 4, Ladies pass right.
B2 Ladies chain 1/2
1st col half figure 8 up through 2nd col.
Problem for modern US contra: No Swings, so i don't use it any more.
Tom
Chicago, USA
