Re: [Callers] Name that Dance

[Robert Livingston via Callers]

 Callers

Things I like about this dance:  In the first four phrases the circle left and 
circle rights are separated with forward and backs.Also the whole B part is 
four phrases with a single partner - get to know you - flirt - engage.  Plus 
two phrases to swing.
And as the comment says, the medley of  known American tunes makes it 
squaredancy.
I've had this dance saved, along with other right mixers, for a long time.  
Tho' most times I just make up what works for circles
and for longways on site, I do check the folder beforehand to refresh myself of 
all the possible ingredients.

Hi Rich,

  I would just call it a “Big Set Mixer”.  It is a slight variation 
of the one in the Community Dances Manual.  Callers just make up a 32 bar 
sequence that works for their dancers.

  

  While it is a good example of all ages having fun together, I 
really wish callers would teach the dancers just a tiny bit about how to do 
better hand/arm turns and swings :-)

  

    Happy dancing,

Re: [Callers] Name that dance (5-cpl, square+middle)

[Yaron Shragai via Callers]

Thanks for the numerous varieties that have been posted!
Any ID at this point on the (very possibly folk-processed...) specific
variety that I described?  (I'm pretty sure I'm describing it pretty
exactly as danced at Flurry '17.)

(For your convenience ;-) here again is the description: )
Formation: square with a cpl in the middle (i.e. 5 cpls)
A:
Middle cpl 1/2 R&L with cpl #1, which becomes new middle cpl
That cpl uses momentum from courtesy turn to turn twd cpl #2, 1/2 R&L with
that cpl
Cpl #2 becomes middle, 1/2 R&L with cpl #3
Cpl #3 becomes middle, 1/2 R&L with cpl #4
Cpl #4 becomes middle [turns to face current #1, which is orig middle]
B:
Couples currently along up/dn axis (heads+middle) turn back on ptnr, now
all can form 2 rings of 5, circle L/R;
Ptnr swing (some ppl may have to spin around to find Ptnr)

Forgive my note-taking from so long ago:

_The Formation_:
Middle couple is C1 and they face the music.
Outside couples shift left 1/8 so they are diagonal to the music.
C1 stands back to back -- M1 faces 4 on his right and W1 faces the 4 on her 
left.


Inga Morton, in her 1994 book "Square Dance Century", presents 7 dances in 
this formation, named "Throw a Fiver, Nos. 1 - 7". They all have the same B 
part, in which the 4 'right and left through' figures end with a new couple 
in the center position.



_The Dance_:
C1 circles left with the 4 they face (2 separate circles)
Within the same groups, just the 3 gents Star Right (M1 with the 2 gents he 
circled with) while the 3 women Star Right (W1 with the 2 ladies she circled 
with)


C1 meet and change groups (M1 dances w/the 4 people W1 danced with and W1 
dances with the 4 people M1 danced with); repeat circles and stars

[followed by R+L throughs to progress]


This is similar to "Throw a Fiver, No. 4".

Re: [Callers] Name that dance (5-cpl, square+middle)

[John McIntire via Callers]

Back in 1994, Ted Sannella used a very similar version of this 5 couple
square at Mainewoods Dance camp. The A parts differed slightly but the
progression in the B part is the same. Ted told us he picked up the dance
in Denmark from a Danish caller, Inga Morton. Ted simply called it "A
Danish Dance" and had 2 versions of it. It provides a great change of
pace used occasionally.

Re: [Callers] Name that dance (5-cpl, square+middle)

[Linda S. Mrosko via Callers]

I had forgotten about this square.  It looked so familiar.  Years and years
ago, Kathy Anderson called this square at a dance event I attended.  My
notes show it as "English Dance for Five Couples."  I loved this dance!

Forgive my note-taking from so long ago:

*The Formation*:
Middle couple is C1 and they face the music.
Outside couples shift left 1/8 so they are diagonal to the music.
C1 stands back to back -- M1 faces 4 on his right and W1 faces the 4 on her
left.

*The Dance*:
C1 circles left with the 4 they face (2 separate circles)
Within the same groups, just the 3 gents Star Right (M1 with the 2 gents he
circled with) while the 3 women Star Right (W1 with the 2 ladies she
circled with)

C1 meet and change groups (M1 dances w/the 4 people W1 danced with and W1
dances with the 4 people M1 danced with); repeat circles and stars
C1 meet again and face any couple they chose (let's call the new couple C2
for clarity) to do the half R&L thru with, using a "power turn" to end
facing the next couple to the right of the orig C1 (call them C3)
C3 does a half R&L thru with C4
C4 does a half R&L thru with C5 who becomes the new middle couple

[Callers] Name that dance (5-cpl, square+middle)

[Yaron Shragai via Callers]

Hi,
I picked up this dance at Flurry '17.  Iirc, the caller (I think it was Bob
Isaacs, not sure, it was near the end of the festival, it's all kinda
fuzzy...) said he picked it up at another festival and didn't know the name
of it.  He named the caller that he got it from - but I don't remember the
name...

Formation: square with a cpl in the middle (i.e. 5 cpls)
A:
Middle cpl 1/2 R&L with cpl #1, which becomes new middle cpl
That cpl uses momentum from courtesy turn to turn twd cpl #2, 1/2 R&L with
that cpl
Cpl #2 becomes middle, 1/2 R&L with cpl #3
Cpl #3 becomes middle, 1/2 R&L with cpl #4
Cpl #4 becomes middle [turns to face current #1, which is orig middle]
B:
Couples currently along up/dn axis (heads+middle) turn back on ptnr, now
all can form 2 rings of 5, circle L/R;
Ptnr swing (some ppl may have to spin around to find Ptnr)

Thanks!

Re: [Callers] Name that dance/dance that name!

[Erik Hoffman via Callers]

As Bob noted, the first dance is Missing Duck. A note on the figures:


Missing Duck, becket
Erik Hoffman
A1: circle L 3/4 and pass through
   new ladies alle. L 1/2, partner alle. R 3/4 to long wave (Wm facing in)
A2: Rory O'Moore
B1: ladies start full hey by L shoulder

Actually, the first pass is Partner by the right. At the end of the Rory O'More 
balances, I like it if you take your partner's hand, and launch your partner 
into the hey:
  Women get launched to the center to pass left
  Men get launched out to loop right

B2: partner b&s

The dance is a double progression. The first neighbor couple dance by  
in the diagonal 1/2 hey; this is the only dancing that is done with  
them. The second couple is then found in the completion of the hey  
across the set. One hint to double progressions is not having a couple  
out at the top. And Seth actually spells it:  ContraQuad
