The name of Ron's dance is *Mange Tak - *Danish for "thank you very much".

It's the correct spelling for "many thanks" in Danish, which is
what the title is based on.

The dance Maia asked about has a clear resemblance to "Mange Tak"
but also is clearly different, with more balances (which Maia
says she definitely recalls) and with no shadow allemande.  It's
apparently an intentionally written variation, perhaps to achieve
a little simplification, since Maia collected it from Ron
Buchanan's calling, and it's unlikely he would unwittingly have

whether this variation is one that Ron came up with himself nor
whether it has a more specific title than something like "Mange

Re: [Callers] Mystery dance from Contracopia

[James Saxe via Callers]

I believe the correct title for the dance described below by Laur
is "Mange Tak" (not "Mange Talk", "Mongatack", or "Manga Tok").
That's how it's spelled in the 2009 RPDLW syllabus

 http://www.library.unh.edu/special/forms/rpdlw/syllabus2009.pdf

It's the correct spelling for "many thanks" in Danish, which is
what the title is based on.

The dance Maia asked about has a clear resemblance to "Mange Tak"
but also is clearly different, with more balances (which Maia
says she definitely recalls) and with no shadow allemande.  It's
apparently an intentionally written variation, perhaps to achieve

Re: [Callers] Mystery dance from Contracopia

[Maia McCormick via Callers]

Oh! I believe that the B2 was a do-si-do and swing, actually (misremembered
it because my partner and I changed it). Which makes the dance as I recall
it:
A1: pass the ocean and balance
partner R 1/2, gents L 1/2, balance
A2: neighbor R 3/4, new neighbor swing
B1: pass the ocean and balance
neighbor R 1/2, gents L 1/2, balance
B2: partner do-si-do
partner swing

And it DOES look similar to Mongatock (Manga Tak?), I agree, but I
definitely recall reforming and balancing waves after both of the
pass-the-ocean/allemande sequences.

[Maia McCormick via Callers]

Found an unlined 3x5 card in my deck with this dance written in pencil in
mysterious, shaky handwriting. The card has the title Late in the Evening,
though I have no idea if that's the actual title. Attributions, anyone?

A1: (new) N bal & box the gnat

Re: [Callers] Mystery Dance ID time

[Will Loving]

I wrote to Jim Kitch and he confirmed that the dance is indeed "Spare Parts"
as Will Mentor indicated. I'm posting a part of Jim's reply below because I
thought his comments on R through interesting.

>From Jim Kitch:

Will Mentor is absolutely correct; the dance you are asking about is "Spare
Parts", which I wrote (in the late 1980's or very early 1990's, I believe)
for a band of the same name that I was calling with at the time.  [Will M.
has the choreography correct as well.]
 
BTW, IMHO a pass-through-and-twirl IS a right-and-left-through -- at least,
it is what the majority of dancers do today when a right-and-left-through is
called for.  (I'm ignoring the with/without hands question, the norm of
which varies depending on where you are.)  I only specify the California
twirl in "Spare Parts" because, in that dance, it sets up the next action
much better than a conventional courtesy turn does.

This dance really looks like Spare Parts by Jim Kitch. The only  
difference - in Spare Parts instead of a Right & Left Through the  
choreography calls for Pass Through/Cal Twirl.

Re: [Callers] Mystery Dance

[Jack Mitchell]

Actually before the allemande, you're standing with your partner in your 
right hand, so the gents are facing the right way and the ladies are 
facing the wrong way.  After the allemande, you're both facing the same 
way and ready to walk forward to a new wave.  Without needing to say 
anything about it, one thing you can do to reduce confusion about which 
way folks are going is to becketize the sets by circling RIGHT one place 
rather than left.  That way the 1's are actually progressing down the 
hall and the 2's are going up the hall.  The progression has you (once 
you're becketized) progressing to the right one couple each time through 
the dance.  Might be worth it to point out your next neighbors (on the 
right diagonal) just before starting the walkthru.


Take all this bearing in mind that I just got the dance myself and 
haven't called it before.

At first glance (without working it through via Smurf toys), it looks to me like the 
first turn of the wave makes folks face the "wrong way" up or down the set, 
with the Ladies Al-L 1/2 in the A2 turning them back in the direction of progression 
again. Is this right?

If so, I think it would be useful to say that sort of thing when teaching. Do 
you agree?

Also, what other teaching tidbits have you found helpful? I'm really into

Hi Jack,

My suggested fix is no good :-(

I think this would fix it
B2: Balance the Ring, Petronella Turn
   Balance the Ring, Petronella Turn and a 1/2 more
but with this suggestion, I think it's too clockwise.

B2: LLFB, right hand balance, and square thru 2 would be nicer


Cheers, Bill

Hi Jack,

Salmonella Evening  by Steve Zakon-Anderson has the same A1, A2 and B2
but B1: Balance the Ring, Petronella Twirl Balance the Ring, Petronella Twirl

Your mystery dance doesn't progress.
It would work if B2 was
Balance Ring, Petronella Twirl
Balance Ring, California Twirl

Cheers, Bill

   B1:   Balance Ring, Petronella Twirl right into your N's arms

Hi Jack,

 I think there is a problem with the 
progression in the mystery dance. The partner 
swing is on the ladies side, so B2 leaves people 
on the wrong side. Using a B2: Gents Allemand Left 
1 1/2, Neighbor swing would fix it, but the dance 
still is a mystery.


 A few dances that have a progression at A1 
and then the same A2 and B1 are:

Hey in the Barn Chart Guthrie   Improper
A1  Neighbor Balance and Swing  
B2  Ladies Chain, 1/2 Hey   

Pinewoods Crossing  Jim Kitch, et alImproper
A1  Neighbor Gypsy 1 1/2, Circle Left   
B2	Circle Left 3/4 Ladies Roll Away (L to R, on 
side) Pass Through Across, Cross Trails* Pass your 
partner by the right, pass neighbor by left		


Pride of CharlottesvilleSeth Tepfer Improper
A1	Neighbor Seesaw (Left shoulder DSD) Neighbor 
Allemand Left 1 1/2
B2	Gents Allemand Left 1 1/2 Neighbor Allemand 
Right 1 3/4		


Southern Swing  Steve Zakon-AndersonImproper
A1  (new) Neighbor Balance and Swing
B2	Ladies Allemand Right, Pass Partner by Left 
Gents pass by Right, Neighbor Allemand Left 1 1/4			

Cheers, Bill
