I have the following dances in my collection. The first I have never
called, but might please folks who do ECD. The other two I have
called: they work well.
Have fun! Linda Leslie
Saint Paddy's Day

as much as possible, walk clockwise around partner, gents forward

Other Notes: This dance was written for Pattie Whitehurst. The figures
seem to fit Fair Jenny's Jig or Irish jig-to-reel combinations, and
some say the dance feels best after a dinner of corned beef and cabbage.
And this one, by Martha. I have called this one, and dancers seem to
have enjoyed it! However, I believe the Paddy of the title is a cat....

I'm calling a dance on March 17 - does anyone have a few - even one
- dance that would work to pick up the theme? I guess I'll find a
come-back-cozy-to-cloverleaf to use - but I don't think or easily
see any with a GREEN or "luck of the Irish" or... in the title.
Heck - I guess I could even use Snakes.
I won't go overboard - but some acknowledgement seems in order.
Besides wearing a green skirt!
