What a great suggestion! Thanks Amy. Here's another: Haunted Woods of Athlone. As Bridge of Athlone, but with a few Halloween changes:
A1 Forward and Back, and Change with Partner* Zombie Style* A2 Repeat back to place B1 Top couple chasse down the center and back 8 steps B2 Top couple casts off, lines follow down to the bottom *Witches Broom (Or Gliding Ghost) style.* Top couple make an arch, everyone under the arch and back to place C1 Top couple back up the outside while everyone else makes the Haunted Woods (instead of the Bridge). Top couple runs through the haunted woods to the bottom. C2....? Not ever sure of the timing of this dance! But it's usually not done in distinct phrases. Enjoy!
