Posts and Spinners! Nice, Sue. That's better than my "Travelers" and "Stayers", which I guess could have been "Visitors and Hosts".
(I have to say I've found this inevitably fragile if you have drunk people or a lot of kids or just people who don't want to leave the partner they lined up with, and you can end up with a bunch of Posts who have no Spinners and a flood of spinners stuck behind someone who isn't traveling.) -- Alan ________________________________________ From: Sue C.

I think I heard Peter Amidon say once something like this: “this dance doesn’t really have a name, it’s kind of the ubiquitous circle waltz mixer.” So I call it Ubi Waltz. However, i have had a few people emphatically tell me it’s called the Oslo Waltz. It’s possible that some people believe that the Oslo Waltz has a couples’ waltz for the entire B2. Author? no clue. Also, I tend to call this dance a lot with private party gigs and One-Shot-Deal gigs and even with kids, and I label the two roles: Posts and Spinners.

The caller may have been Becky Hill, maybe not. It's for a 32-bar waltz. I'm searching for the title and author. Starts with a ring of couples all facing the center: A1 Balance forward & back, roll away (ladies/robins moving in front from Left to Right), Repeat A2 Repeat twice more B1 As couples, face center connected by usual hands (gents/larks right, ladies/robins left). Balance while turning away back (together), then (letting go) turn symmetrically away to face out and take other hands. Balance away and together, turn symmetrically away to face each other B2 Take the ballroom position, take two waltz steps (step, close, step, close) into circle, then two steps out, then free waltz four waltz steps, ending by unfolding to reform a circle.
