Re: [Callers] Two Face Three Dance Inquiry
Hi Rich, Jack Turns Back is a circle of five. You can find a link to the instructions at http://contrafusion.co.uk/Formations.html On the same page you will find two actual Two Face Three dances, plus lots more dances for five dancers, or indeed any number! If you want a different sort of basket you could try http://contrafusion.co.uk/Dances/F-Lock.html Happy dancing, John John Sweeney, Dancer, England j...@modernjive.com 01233 625 362 & 07802 940 574 http://contrafusion.co.uk/KentCeilidhs.html for Live Music Ceilidhs http://www.contrafusion.co.uk for Dancing in Kent http://www.modernjive.com for Modern Jive DVDs From: Callers On Behalf Of Rich Sbardella via Callers Sent: 08 July 2019 03:43 To: Caller's discussion list Subject: [Callers] Two Face Three Dance Inquiry Folks, I remember dancing a dance where two people face a line of three.

Re: [Callers] Two Face Three Dance Inquiry
I believe this—Jack Turn Back—is actually called The Cottontail Rag, by Steve Schnur (sp?) Sandy Bradley said, of the basket, “No matter how spaghetti armed you get, when I say, ‘break that basket, left hand star,’ forget about it!” It works with 7 people and 9 people, too. If there are different sizes, the timing gets off. As far as “easy” or “hard” I often call this for beginnerish people, especially if there’s only a few people and I want all to dance. The mistakes on the way to an “aha!” moment can be priceless. ~Erik Hoffman Oakland, CA From: Callers On Behalf Of Mac Mckeever via Callers Sent: Sunday, July 7, 2019 7:55 PM To: Caller's discussion list ; Rich Sbardella Subject: Re: [Callers] Two Face Three Dance Inquiry I have a dance I think is called 'turn back jack' - part if it is 3 face 2 and the 2 dosido with the center dancer in the line of 3. It goes into a basket swing in a way that is hard to explain - but i will try I will not relate this to the music because it never seems to be able to keep up - so it is more free form. All 5 right star - one person is designate as the Jack Jack drops out of the star and turns back the other way an chooses someone to swing The other 3 do a basket swing and end in line of 3 facing the other 2 who were swinging Who ever ends up in the center of the line of 3 is the Jack next time around Line of 2 dosido with person in center of line of 3 Center person returns to center of line - but faces out and crosses arms to take hands in line of 2 other 2 join to make a circle of 5 with the new Jack facing out with arms crossed Jack raises top arm to make arch and pulls 2 dancers into middle of circle no one lets go - center dancers raise arms over others to make a basket (yes - this actually works!) Basket swing - release to right star and start again.
