If you are willing to call squares, there are numerous with interesting
variations on the clover leaf. Contact Bob Dalsemer at the John C Campbell
folkschool in Brasstown NC, and say I sent you. He's an invaluable resource
for all things square.

Sue Rosen's "Handsome Young Maids" and Rick Mohr's "Connectrix" both have a
"cloverleaf" figure, in both cases tied to a down-the-hall. Does anyone
know of dances where the cloverleaf occurs without a down-the-hall?

Barbara: Do you call exclusively longways contra sets? Because there several
hundred years' worth of Irish dances...

Thanks for the help. I thought the shadow would be next to you on the side of
the set. I can't wait to call this one. Unfortunately I won't be calling
again until March 16. Does anyone have or know where to find any dances
pertaining to St. Patty's Day?

We shouldn't confuse new callers by failing to point out that there
are other contras that use a different shadow. The shadow Brian
speaks of is similar to the corner in a square. The other shadow
could be compared to a right-hand lady (left-hand gent) in a square.
Just by looking at the p
I have called it twice thus far; both times the dancers enjoyed the dance -
and the joke implicit in its choreography.
Both times i used it in mixed-level situations, without problems, calling
it as written. IMO it's a really good dance for introducing the "shadow"
concept to inexperienced dancers
Thanks for the feedback. Barbara, once the dancers are in Becket formation
have them take hands in long lines. Their partner will be in one hand and
their shadow will be in the other hand.

In a becket formation, your shadows are all on the same side as you. For this
dance, if you're becket holding hands in long lines, your partner is in one
hand and your shadow is in the other. This is a neat dance. Thanks, Jim!

I am not familiar with this dance - but if you are on the same side of the set
as your partner - a shadow cannot be located on the other side - so they will
be on the same side somewhere to your right or left.

In Groundhog Daze how would you teach this? If you are next to your partner in
becket where is your "shadow" in relation to you? Is he next to you on the
side or across from you your Nbr? Can't seem to figure this out. Help please.
Thanks.
