Sorry, I forgot that I have scanned images of my cards so I can check before I go home.
I misremembered, the dance as I have it from Robert Cromartie is called “Dixie Gal”. The note about the Dixie Twirl move is: Dixit Twirl: don’t let go! Left-most leads under arch made by right-most pair to other side, right-most sweeps across to other side. Inverts the line, left-most down is left-most up. This is kind of like a “Right Hand High, Left Hand Low” except that it’s a line of 4, not just 3 (usually a gent and 2 ladies). I suppose it’s open to interpretation as to whether the “4 vs. 3” distinction warrants a different name for the move. I’ve also heard it described as a “California Twirl for couples”. I got it from Robert, don’t know when. I see that it’s published in Give and Take, my copy of which is at home. There may be more explanation there (or rather, less?). -Eric Eric Black [email protected] http://eric-black.com On Jul 23, 2014, at 12:29 PM, Dave Casserly via Callers <[email protected]> wrote: > Yes, that's my interpretation as well (or, in Keith's words, "W2 Dixie twirls > the two M, while W1 lets go and turns alone"). > > > On Wed, Jul 23, 2014 at 1:52 PM, Kalia Kliban via Callers > <[email protected]> wrote: > So while the rest of the line is turning itself inside out, W1 is not > involved at all?
