Hi,
This may seem like a silly question. It concerns Rick Mohr's improper
dance
"Chuck the Budgie" (on his webpage and shown on a youtube video there).
I thought an improper dance has the #1's facing down the hall, facing their
#2's who are facing up the hall. All gents have their partners on their right
side.
Although the dance description says it's improper, it actually starts in a short
wave which you get into by Nbr Right Allemand 3/4 to have gents in the center
with left hands joined. (the last 4 beats of B2, (next nbr) Right Allemand 3/4
forms the next short wave).
So this dances has a formation (consisting of short waves) with the #1's facing
up
the hall facing their #2's who are facing down the hall. Gents have their
partners
on their left. Does this have a name? Are there any other dances in this
formation?
Questioningly yours,
Bill
