Hi all,
I was confused. Thanks to Jeremy Child for explaining it to me.
Jeremy's version has a Dosido after the Swing.
This is how I would now document it:
The Weaving Way (Anon.)
Square Inside Square; Insides Facing Outsides
Inside Heads California Twirl to start the dance facing in
A1/A2: Dip ‘n’ Dive to Home:
Heads: Inside #3s Arch first
Sides: Inside #2s and Outside #4s Arch first
B1: Partner Swing – finish with Insides facing Outsides
Neighbour Dosido
B2/C1: Half a Right Hand Star – let go and stay facing in that direction –
Ladies line up close behind your Partner
Men Weave the Ring – pass Left Shoulder to start - each Lady following
her Partner – Weave Six Changes = 3/4 of the Square
Half a Right Hand Star – Men drop out, Ladies keep hold
C2: Ladies Chain to your Neighbour
Ladies Chain to your Partner – Inside Heads Power Turn to face in
Progression:
Original Outside couples move 3/4 AC and stay as Outside couples
Original Inside couples move 3/4 CW and stay as Inside couples
Arches: Those partially facing NW (if stage is N) Arch first
I hope that helps. Now I just need sixteen intelligent dancers to try
it! :-)
Happy dancing,
John

Subject: [Callers] The Weaving Way
Hi all,
I have a note to myself from pre-pandemic times about a square-within-a-square
called The Weaving Way. I have no other information about it, and searching the
archives of this list and the trad callers list produced no useful results, so…
I turn to all of you. Do you know this dance, and if so, are you willing to
share?
Thanks very much,
Louise.
