Re: [Callers] Yet more unknown dances! (Mange Tak)

[joda_rogers via Callers]

I believe the correct spelling for #7 is Mange Tak (with an e at the end of the 
first word..."Many Thanks" in Danish) but I didn't write the dance, so what do 
I know…

Re: [Callers] Yet more unknown dances!

[Mentor, Will via Callers]

Maia, 

I can help on a couple of the dances (I wrote them). Note that Trip to Hubert 
is a becket. 

#6 Trip To Hubert
Becket CW (progress left)   Will Mentor
A1. Star Right
  Star Left
A2. P Courtesy Turn and Ladies Cross by right shoulder
  N Swing
B1. Gents Allemande L 1.5
  Partner Swing
B2. Long Lines Fwd, on way back Partners Rollaway w/ Half Sashay
  Pass Thru Across
  All turn right 1/4 to face along the side of the set ladies you are 
facing our partners back
  Walk Single File along the side to the next 

#8 Mad Robin Landing
Improper  Will Mentor
A1. Neighbor Bal & Swing
A2. Mad Robin Plus** into long waves (8) holding right hands with partner, 
gents facing out, ladies facing in
  Bal Wave 
  Circulate   ladies walk straight across the set while gents loop 
right into the spot their partner just vacated
B1. Bal Wave 
  Circulate  gents walk straight across the set while the ladies turn 
around
  Partner Swing
B2. Ladies Chain  to neighbor
  Star L   face new neighbor

**Mad Robin Plus is a mad robin figure done in 6 beats of music followed by 2 
beats of meanwhile action. 
After the N Swing in A1 lock eyes with partner. 
Mad Robin - Gents step forward and Slide R while Ladies Slide L along the side 
(3)
   Ladies step forward and Slide R while Gents Slide L along 
the side (3) you are back to the place you began the mad robin 
Plus Part  Gents Walk Straight Across the set passing neighbor gent by 
right shoulder while Ladies Slide L along the side into the spot your neighbor 
just vacated (2) 
  All end in Long Wavy Lines holding right hands with your 
partner, gents facing out, ladies facing in.

Notes
With a mixed crowd I demo Mad Robin Plus. 
Slow to moderate tempo. If you have the Rodney Miller Airdance CD - listen to 
Fred Bartell/Jig Jazz. This or something like it works perfectly.

#1 is I believe Naked in California by Nils Fredland.  '

I have all the NEFFA dances, but I'll need to go through them to get those 
other dances you mentioned.  The #8 dance is an awesome Will Mentor dance, 
called by Will at NEFFA.
