Hi All:
Inspired by Tom Hinds' amazing dance The Amazing Sarah Wilcox, I introduced the
following this week:
Coast to Coast
Becket-L, 6/8/15
A1. Ladies allemande R 1 1/2, N1 swing
A2. Down the hall in line/4 - turn alone, up hall and bend line to ring
B1. Balance, w/N1 Jersey twirl to face out in long lines
Balance, w/N2 California twirl to face across
B2. Circle L 3/4, partner swing
In the long lines facing out, I'm not sure of the best way to balance. I went
with balance towards N2 first, then towards N1, and that was a good way to set
up the Cal twirl. But other ways to balance are possible, and I'd be curious
how they work if any of you try them.
The best part of the dance to me is that both twirls are with a neighbor, as
that helps teach the moves. It's rare either twirl is with a neighbor, so to
get both is a real bonus.
