Tallahasee Settlement Twirl
Formation:Becket (double progression)
Author:Seth Tepfer
Composed:3/17/97
A1:(8) long lines, forward & back; (8) w/partner, allemande left as much as you 
want* those in center take right hands.
A2:(4) balance the ocean wave (4) walk forward to next ocean wave; (4) balance 
(4) centers allemande right to trail buddy (neighbor)
B1:(8) swing shadow; (8) right and left through on left diagonal
B2:(8) 1/2 hey across set, those on the right (who were originally in the 
middle, 'women') start by passing right shoulders (8) swing partner
Note: B1: Ending swing in the middle phrase, a forgotten dance skill, needs 
extra prompting.
Note 2: Four potential 'shadows' (your shadow, your partner's shadow, and each 
of your shadow's partners)
Note 3: Warning to ends: watch out - you come in at 2nd balance or R&Lthru *for 
first time, allemande until gents are in center.
A revised version of Tom Hinds "Any Kind of Settlement" which was from Tony 
Saletan's "Amicable Settlement." I wanted to mix the randomness of 'allemande 
as much as you want' with the 'walk to next ocean wave'. Also named after the 
fact that it was written right after I started 'settling in' to Tallahassee, 
having just moved there.

I teach this dance having the women go in the middle first, then 2nd walk thru 
have the men go in the middle, but explain the people in the middle are playing 
the women's role (as far as the R&L thru, the Ladies Chain, the shadow swing). 
Conversely, the ones on the outside are playing the men's role.

Subject: [Callers] Role Scramblers dances with balances



Hi Callers,


I'm working on a themed contra workshop called "Role Scramblers," and just 
realized that all of the dances I've shortlisted are very smooth. I'm looking 
for dances with elements for each dance role that  are more typically danced by 
the other role (such as Jeff Spero's "Equal Opportunity," which has the ones 
chain). I have "Roll Away Sue" by Bob Isaacs (a gent's chain), but would love 
other dances with balances and waves that might fit this theme.


Thanks for your ideas!
Lindsey
