I called it tonight in Houston, Becketized, corrected to M pass L, otherwise just like I wrote it wy up at the top. It worked fine. So, thanks to Martha and Bob, I wonder if this dance Is "Piece of Cake", but, thanks to the video I saw, with the band timing where it was, it just appears to be

etting into a groove, doesn't help. A better way to treat a warmer hall is to give an extra minute between dances. This will, through the night, cut out time for one dance. Thanks, everyone! Keith Tuxhorn Austin, TX On Mon, Apr 27, 2015 at 6:51 PM, Kalia Kliban via Callers < callers@lists.shared

Re: [Callers] Name this Robert Cromertie dance!

This dance doesn't work the way I read it. 1s and 2s are across from each other to swing, and when they finish. A petronella would put your partner on the same side; a CA twirl would then send you and your P in opposite directions. Keith Tuxhorn Austin TX On Wed, Jul 23, 2014 at 9:47 AM, Chip
