Re: [Callers] What dance is this?

Dave, Andrea,and Yoyo,
My apologies, you are absolutely correct.  I somehow confused "Boys from
Urbana" with another dance.  The two dances are very similar, and the
untitled dance could easily be considered a variation of "Boys from
Urbana".

Re: [Callers] What dance is this?

2016-10-07 Thread Dave Casserly via Callers
I agree with Andrea and Yoyo that this dance is very similar to Boys from
Urbana, enough certainly to qualify as a variation of the same dance.
Literally the only difference is that there's a 1/2 gents allemenade after
the progression in Boys from Urbana.  And this one starts at a different
spot than Boys from Urbana usually starts, but there's no reason Boys has
to start there.

I also agree with Yoyo about the timing.  The reason Boys from Urbana works
well is that there are 2 beats to veer each direction, then 4 beats for the
gent to allemande left 1/2.  In this dance, timing in B2 is unclear: 3/4
circle left is typically 6 beats, which leaves 10 for the veer left and
veer right.  Dancers won't split that into 5 beats and 5 beats, so it's
uneven.  Some dancers will compensate by taking extra time to circle left,
and doing it in 8 beats instead of 6, but other dancers find such circles
unsatisfying.

Re: [Callers] What dance is this?

2016-10-07 Thread David A Kaynor via Callers
Hi Everyone,

Bill is correct:  Cherokee Shuffle is an entirely different dance.

The dance in question is one of those great blue-collar contras which were 
somewhat dismissively referred to as “glossary dances” by some of the bigwigs 
of the late 20th century.  Unsurprisingly, it seems to have been independently 
composed by a number of people, me included.  My composition came together on 
the occasion of Matthew Justin Kenney’s birth however many years ago that was 
(he is now entering college).  When I walked it through at my old Greenfield 
dance (at which Stuart Kenney played bass and banjo in the Greenfield Dance 
Band) for the first time, explained its inspiration, and asked the crowd what I 
ought to call it, someone shouted out “Matthew Just in Time”.  And it stuck.

I suspect that as time goes on and more and more people compose dances, there 
will be more occasions of independent composing of identical sequences.

Ummm... from David's web page:


Cherokee Shuffle

Improper



A1 (facing up and down set) w/Ns, F & B; w/N, dos-a-dos; form circle

A2 Bal. Circle; W/N, swing, end progressed

B1  Gs LH turn 1/2; W/P, bal. & swing (12 beats)

B2 Circle L 3/4; Circle Bal. 2x; W/P, California Twirl to swap places, face new 
Ns



This is the 36 bar version to match the tune. I seem to remember the dance 
originally was Cir L x1, N DSD in A1 and in B1 the men turned half way to a 
wave across for the balance.

Yoyo,
I do not consider this dance and Boys from Urbana variations of the same
dance.  I would have no trouble calling this dance to start off an evening,
but Urbana is much more difficult.
Where are your concerns with timing and flow?  The only difference I see is
that there are 8 beats available for the zig/zag versus 4 beats in Urbana.
That is a plus early in an evening.

Yes, gents back out while the ladies walk in.
The note 'gents wait for them' is more about once gents have backed out, stay 
there and don't go walk forward to meet the ladies during their allemande.

I don't understand the point of "Gents wait for them" in the note. Seems to

expect that gents back out while ladies go forward would make for better

Seth,

The dance is named for Rock Creek that flowed through the original Kimmswick 
Dance weekend site - in the days when the weekends actually were near the town 
of Kimmswick MO.  The dance was probably written by David in the mid 1980s

I have this dance, starting with a Neighbor B&S rather than DSD, with the
title Push the Button, author unknown.  It is a great dance for all
experience levels.  It can be found on the CDSS website with this note:
"Rebecca Lay learned 'Push the Button' from Rick Mohr, who got it from
George Marshall, who collected it in the early 1980's from an unknown
source. It was originally called "The Button Push;" Rick added the balance
in the B2 to improve the timing and changed the name."  I would love to
attribute it to an "official" author.
