Let me suggest Victoria’s Waltz, by Australian dance leader Peter Foster.
American dancers will recognize the B1 sequence as Gay Gordon’s, in waltz tempo. The dance has both English and contra characteristics, but is wholly itself. VICTORIA’S WALTZ By Peter Foster 32 bar waltz A1 All holding hands in a circle, balance forward and back Men take the lady on their left and pass her across to place her on his right All holding hands in a circle, balance forward and back Women take the man on their left and pass him across to place him on her right (it’s the same man who just passed her across) A2 All holding hands in a circle, balance forward and back Men take the lady on their left and pass her across to place her on his right. This is your new partner Two hand turn partner once around, open out standing next to your partner facing anticlockwise around the room, men on the inside, women on the outside B1 Two waltz steps forward, turn on the spot (turning towards your partner) and take their other hand Two waltz steps backward (so still going in the same direction) Repeat the other way: two waltz steps, turn on the spot, two waltz steps back. Then take a ballroom hold B2 Waltz on Richard Hopkins Middlebury, Vermont [email protected] 850-544-7614 > On Nov 6, 2023, at 12:00 AM, [email protected] > wrote: > > Send Contra Callers mailing list submissions to > [email protected] > > To subscribe or unsubscribe via email, send a message with subject or > body 'help' to > [email protected] > > You can reach the person managing the list at > [email protected] > > When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific > than "Re: Contents of Contra Callers digest..." > > Today's Topics: > > 1.
