Easy As Pie is pretty much the same dance. Still different enough to be unique I guess. let's see what others say.

I dig your version as a super forgiving way to teach the hey. I'd love to know if someone else has this choreo down, because I'd like to add it to my box. -Julian Blechner he/him On Fri, Oct 28, 2022 at 4:37 PM Bill Olson via Contra Callers <contracallers@lists.sharedweight.net<mailto:contracallers@lists.sharedweight.net>> wrote: So I'm driving down the road, stick a CD by Kimberley Holmes in the radio thing. Kimberley is an amazing fiddler and pianist from Halifax. I met her at Maine Fiddle Camp this year. This tune in the queue just HITS me and my brain immediately starts "writing" a dance to go with it. I haven't composed a contra dance since, probably, Ellie's Pumpkin Show and that's from the mid 2000's I think. So this "creative thing" that used to happen a lot hasn't happened for a while.. (understatement)...... I'm not calling a lot of contra dances these days. Mostly barn/community/family dances and when I do call a contra dance it's with ladies, gents, gypsies, etc. I have done Larks and Robins but the choreographer part of me only does ladies and gents etc. hah hah... Anyway here's what popped out: A1 DSD N Sw N A2 M allem L x 1.5, hey (start Partner R Sh) B1 Pt B&S (or Gyp & Sw) B2 Cir L 3/4, bal ring, Pass thru I have about 5 alternate B2 parts here's just one: B2 Pass thru across (NO courtesy turn), face L, L/H star x 1.25 I prefer the easy original version. I figured I could check "callers' box" as Russell pretty much always does, to see if any of the sequences come up. I didn't find anything but not sure I am specifying the figures properly. OK so I have this dance in my brain and I go to the CD jacket to see what track #9 is. The title is "Kimberley's House Party". What a great title for a dance.. This is such an easy dance, simple sequence.. Does it already exist? thanks.... bill _______________________________________________ Contra Callers mailing list -- contracallers@lists.sharedweight.net<mailto:contracallers@lists.sharedweight.net> To unsubscribe send an email to contracallers-le...@lists.sharedweight.net<mailto:contracallers-le...@lists.sharedweight.net>
