Hey all,.. The dance was "Bases Loaded" by Jim Saxe, Lydee Scudder and Tom Thoreau. Curiously enough I first learned it from Kathy!! You can find it several places online..

That was cool. I think he wrote it. And Kathy A called something at flurry last year with a right and left through and then the ladies slide right and across the set to take hands in a short wavy line across. It was neat. I think she called it a "right and left by" Sent from my iPhone On Sep 25, 2017, at 9:07 PM, Jacob or Nancy Bloom via Callers <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: The original 4-face-4 with a Grand Square (and the original 4-face-4 in which the couples changed sides during the course of the dance) was my Grand Square Contra: Forward and Back, all swing corner Sides face, Grand Square Reverse Side couples pass thru, Head couples pass thru, all swing partner and face original direction.

Luke Donforth has one where the grand square is on the diagonal that was the inspiration for my dance. That dance is deceptively challenging...It makes keeping your role straight on the grand square take serious concentration. I don;t remember the name of the dance, perhaps you could contact Luke for it.

I have a number dances with square thrus and swing thrus and box circulates. However, these moves are fairly well known at this point. This will be an advanced group of dancers so I'm looking for dances that incorporate more unique and sophisicated moves. I know Bob Isaacs has several that quality, with dances that use Spin the Top and Spin Chain Exchange the Gears. Looking forward to seeing what you may have. -- Mark Hillegonds Cell: 734-756-8441<tel:(734)%20756-8441> Email: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> _______________________________________________ Callers mailing list [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> http://lists.sharedweight.net/listinfo.cgi/callers-sharedweight.net _______________________________________________ Callers mailing list [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> http://lists.sharedweight.net/listinfo.cgi/callers-sharedweight.net -- [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> http://jacobbloom.net/ View my Arlington Food Pantry fundraiser at https://www.youcaring.com/arlington-food-pantry-621657 _______________________________________________ List Name: Callers mailing list List Address: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Archives: https://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/
