Hello all, I was trying to find an easy and accessible dance, a real glossary basic contra.
I feel like this must already exist, but I'm not finding it in my notes. Someone got a prior? Type: Contra Formation: Duple-Improper A1 ----------- (8) Neighbor Do-si-do (8) Neighbor swing, end facing down the hall A2 ----------- (8) Down the hall, four in line (turn as couples) (8) Return and Bend the line B1 ----------- (6) Circle Left 3/4 (10) Partner neighbor B2 ----------- (8) Long lines, forward and back (8) Women allemande Left 1-1/2 The B2 could be W DSD 1.5, although I like the allemande for the connection for brand new dancers. I specifically chose the left hand to leave the women facing towards their new neighbor. I know it's really close to a bunch of other stuff. B2 could be C L 3/4, balance and pass through; or chain to left hand star à la The Nice Combination; etc. Barring it already having been named by someone else, I'm going to call it "Having Fun with PAM" to keep track of it in my box; since I just got back from the fabulous PAMFest (Peacham Acoustic Music Festival). Thanks.
