Richard;
Here are a couple from me that work well for mixed crowds;
Pearls of Wisdom Improper, 12/7/02
A1. Neighbor allemande R 1 1/2, gents allemande L 1 1/2
A2. Partner balance, swing
B1. Circle L 3/4, neighbor swing
B2. Balance, Petronella, balance, Petronella 1 1/2
The Cure for the Claps Improper, 8/17/03
A1. Balance, Petronella, partner swing
A2. Balance, Petronella, neighbor swing
B1. Down hall in line/4 - turn alone, up hall and bend line
B2. Circle L, Balance, California twirl
This is one of those rare contras with no fractions. Because of this
dance many think I am anti-clap. I actually like the claps, but only
when going from ring to ring. When going into a swing, star, or an
allemande like the one above the claps gum up the works. Petronellas
are best when they are more than a positioning device, but use the
momentum to flow into the next move.
Bob
