This is a long term project of mine: to teach and encourage what I call
“the physical therapist approved” way to Allemande. I don’t seem to be

Linda Leslie wrote some really good ones. Do Si Three is always a big
hit when I call it for kids and parents (as well as at weddings and other
parties where most people have never danced.) She has many more.

This is terrific. Will you be posting this to any Contra groups on FB? If
not, would it be okay if I post to Triangle Country Dancers' page? I think
lots of people would enjoys seeing it.

Do Si Three by Linda Leslie is another excellent dance for newbies. It has
progression and swings (I encourage elbow swings) and it doesn't matter a
bit where one ends up. It's always been a great success when I've called it.

Bill,
The dance is at the end of Emily’s email. Note that it is in “indecent”
formation and a little tricky. As was our dear George.

I'm one of the lucky people who attended Andy's workshop in Durham in 2011.
Although I hit a wall 9or two) earlier than most people in the group I had

overwhelming at times. If my August wasn't already filled up, I'd
I agree with Mark! This is a fabulous dance as it is and the dosido for the
women is just hard enough to be a fun challenge. (When I was a new dancer,
dosido 1 1/2 was the hardest move for me to do gracefully and on time. I
was so happy when I got it right!) When the caller teaches the alternate
