Hello all, Lately, my choreography brain has been churning on community dances (longways, circles, etc). I've got two new ones that I haven't gotten to test out yet.
I'd be curious to hear folks thoughts on them; both the dance moves and how to succinctly explain it to people not used to dancing (for instance, I use the phrase cross trail in this write-up, which I wouldn't use at a community dance) Each of them have (what I think is) a new figure for the progression; and then could be mixed with the staples of long lines, DSDs, etc. I'm not even pretending to break this up into A's and B's; because they're not that kind of dance ;-) *Long Corners * by Luke Donforth longways set top in left line trade with bottom in right line, giving a high five with the left hand in the middle then next trade and high five, and the next, until both lines have swapped and you're across from partner again the pair at the top of the line (was bottom couple) stays put and swings each other around, while two lines do a cross trail at the top; giving your partner a high five with your right when you pass head of each cross-trailing line leads back down to bottom of their original side of the set and stays there. Everyone else follows in their line long lines forward and back DSD partner straight across Progression 1 2 3 4 5 => 5 1 2 3 4 Here's a link to a series of photos, hopefully illustrating the beginning sequence: https://plus.google.com/u/3/104785381669836716439/posts/ZVTsdkH6fj7 (unmarked peg is the caller) *The Fountain* by Luke Donforth Longways sets Top couple makes an arch and goes over the other two lines The rest move up, and when the reach the top, they make an arch and go down over the rest of the line When the bottom couple reaches the top, the separate (peel the banana style) and lead their line down the outside (no hands). Everyone except the original top couple (now at the bottom) follows. The couple at the bottom swings, and as other folks get back to line; they can swing their partner. Long lines forward and back Allemande your partner Other hand Allemande your partner Progression: 1 2 3 4 5 => 2 3 4 5 1 Pictures at: https://photos.google.com/share/AF1QipO8FvLShqqQllbGxe-IQ0fpvQiQhA1SNUiQ0S7Ly9hegAhmgTHwz7-tM1c_-A2oOw?key=b25XVk55bzNJbnhTOXpXamlqTkFFLVZNQmlWX21n
