Virtual Relief by Byron Rickers is a Beckett with a long lines and ladies
roll/long lines and men roll progression.  If the non-roller moves, they
are out of position.  Lovely dance, which I use regularly.

I believe it's called If You Were Dead.  I called it in England  
recently and out of all the dances I called, that was the most  
popular.  I understand it was the first one she's written!

Recently there was some discussion of the difference between a  
"rollaway with a half-sashay" and a plain ol' rollaway. Jim Saxe  
presented the dance Roll Away as an example of a contra with a  
rollaway without a half-sashay. Can anyone else name/post  
choreography for any CONTRAS (or 4-face-4s, I suppose... not  
looking for squares at the moment, though) that include a rollaway  
without a half-sashay?

I happen to know of one by Rachel Fifer, Gaye Fifer's daughter.  I don't recall 
the title offhand but I can check later on.  But the roll away is not along the 
line but in a ring.  You balance, and gents roll away a neighbor from their 
left hand to their right hand, but the gents stay in place.

Re: [Callers] Rollaway sans sashay?

[Don Veino via Callers]

The dance I was alluding to in the other thread was Lisa Greenleaf's
"Secret Weapon" which, like a couple of my own compositions, uses a roll to
accomplish a ladies swap across a diagonal after a Ring Balance. If the
gents Half Sashay, they end up on the wrong side of the set for the next
moves. Yes, you could simply substitute a disconnected "Ladies Swap and
face back in" here but you'd lose some good stuff:

   1. the ability for the partner to assist (two minds to remember the
   move, improved timing/timeliness)
   2. fun connected dancing via good weight.

I called Secret Weapon this past Monday at the Scout House, making sure to
tell the Gents their job was to stay put and NOT sashay. That direct
instruction in the walk through worked great, I didn't have to remind them
while calling the dance.

[Callers] Rollaway sans sashay?

[Maia McCormick via Callers]

Recently there was some discussion of the difference between a "rollaway
with a half-sashay" and a plain ol' rollaway. Jim Saxe presented the dance Roll
Away  as an
example of a contra with a rollaway without a half-sashay. Can anyone else
name/post choreography for any CONTRAS (or 4-face-4s, I suppose... not
looking for squares at the moment, though) that include a rollaway *without* a
half-sashay?

Cheers,
Maia
