is a becket.
#6 Trip To Hubert

A1. Star Right
Star Left
A2. P Courtesy Turn and Ladies Cross by right shoulder
N Swing
B1. Gents Allemande L 1.5
Partner Swing
B2. Long Lines Fwd, on way back Partners Rollaway w/ Half Sashay
Pass Thru Across
All turn right 1/4 to face along the side of the set ladies you are
facing our partners back
Walk Single File along the side to the next
#8 Mad Robin Landing
Improper Will Mentor
A1. Neighbor Bal & Swing
A2. Mad Robin Plus** into long waves (8) holding right hands with partner,
gents facing out, ladies facing in
Bal Wave
Circulate ladies walk straight across the set while gents loop
right into the spot their partner just vacated
B1. Bal Wave
Circulate gents walk straight across the set while the ladies turn
around
Partner Swing
B2. Ladies Chain to neighbor
Star L face new neighbor
**Mad Robin Plus is a mad robin figure done in 6 beats of music followed by 2
beats of meanwhile action.
After the N Swing in A1 lock eyes with partner.
Mad Robin - Gents step forward and Slide R while Ladies Slide L along the side
(3)
Ladies step forward and Slide R while Gents Slide L along
the side (3) you are back to the place you began the mad robin
Plus Part Gents Walk Straight Across the set passing neighbor gent by
right shoulder while Ladies Slide L along the side into the spot your neighbor
just vacated (2)
All end in Long Wavy Lines holding right hands with your
partner, gents facing out, ladies facing in.
Notes
With a mixed crowd I demo Mad Robin Plus.
Slow to moderate tempo. If you have the Rodney Miller Airdance CD - listen to
Fred Bartell/Jig Jazz. This or something like it works perfectly.
