Re: [Callers] New dance composition, star to next neighbor hey

2018-06-26 Thread John Rogers via Callers 
Nathaniel Jack’s “Loon on the Lake” also has this figure in it:
(Becket, progresses left)
A1 8 Circle L 3/4
   8 Neighbor Swing
A2 8 LL F+B
   8 Star L 1x
B1 8 New women 1/2 hay L (men loop right to join, passing partner R)
   8 Women Al L 1x, men walk around clockwise ½ way around to home side
B2 16 Partner Bal + Swing
NJ’s comments:
The second dance I wrote was loon on the lake. It had some flow problems and so 
there's now a version 2. I don't keep version 1 around anymore, because I don't 
think it's worth dancing, so make sure you're up to date! The only thing I wish 
was different is I'd like the orbit to go straight into a swing (with no 
balance) but 16 beats of swing alone is too much I think.

Yeah… I know.  I’m not one who believes that EVERY dance must have a neighbor 
swing.  I think there are some incredibly fine choreographies that can happen 
without that requirement.  That said, I wouldn’t program an entire night of 
them, lest I get rode out of town on a rail!

Thanks Michael,

Do you happen to know if Greg Frock's was ladies starting by right or left 
shoulder for the hey? With the balance there, it could be either way. If it 
was a left shoulder hey, then I'd consider this a variation of that dance. 
If it was a right shoulder hey, then I'm more inclined to consider them 
separate.


The info I have says the hey starts with women passing left, same as yours.
(I don't have an authoritative reference though.)

Jeff, that's an intricate one! I don't know that I'd run that one outside
of a challenge session.

Fun to see what you can put together when there doesn't have to be a
partner & neighbor swing ;-)

Here's one I'm familiar with off the top of my head featuring that
transition (called it at NEFFA this year):

*Belmont Romp - Becket - Dan Pearl (var DonV)*

A1 Circle Left 3/4x, Neighbor Swing

A2 Long Lines Fwd/Back (note next N)

Star Left 1x to Gents face out, Ladies in

B1 NEXT Ns Full Hey (Ladies pass LEFT in center)

B2 Ladies Cross, Partner Swing


Dan's original is "modified DI" starting with the hey and has a Circle Left
in place of the Long Lines. Page 94 of Give and Take.

If you replace the "gyre + swing" with "balance + swing", you get Greg 
Frock's "Composition 100".


And if you move the gyre to the start of A1 (so the hey crosses the phrase), 
you get one of the variants of Michael Fuerst's "Even Heaven Knows a Hey No-No":
