The title is actually Northeast ON Southwest. Susan was flying to the Northeast on Southwest airlines when she wrote the dance. Twirls, Frannie On Fri, Nov 1, 2019, 8:28 PM Angela DeCarlis via Contra Callers < contracallers@lists.sharedweight.net> wrote: > I picked up the title for this dance f

Actually, if anyone could confirm the choreography that Mac sent and clarify the second half for me, that would be great. When it says "keep right with N" following a Star Left, I'm not sure what is happening there! Thanks, Angela On Fri, Nov 1, 2019 at 4:41 PM frannie wrote: > The title is act

It means from the star right 3/4, which ends across from your neighbor, you take right hands with your neighbor for the right hand balance; you "keep" that hand because it's already in the star. Ah, I see the problem - it's in Mac's notes as a star left, but it's actually a star right. Yoyo Zhou

It's actually a Right-hand star. Adjust your handgrip from the star to a right hand shake with your Neighbor so you can pull by for the right-left through. You can see Susan calling it herself at the Flurry here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gbLja2-Qu7c Such a fun dance! Anne On Fri, Nov 1,

I have the same A1 as Frannie of “circle, pass thru, N Sw” rather than the “slide left, circle left, N Sw” that Mac has. Jacqui > On Nov 1, 2019, at 13:55, frannie via Contra Callers > wrote: > > Only glanced at the dance from Mac. Right hand Star not left > > Northeast on Southwest > Susan

Thanks all! Wasn't sure if the Star hand was miswritten in Mac's, or if it was one of those reach-backs with the other hand, as sometimes seen...I think the latter is a proper square dance figure. I suspected the former! Thanks for checking that, y'all. Angela On Fri, Nov 1, 2019, 4:59 PM Quiann2

Correction — I misstated it earlier, sorry: * adjust from the star to a handshake with your neighbor for a right-hand balance and box the gnat, *then *right-left through... Anyway, have fun with it! Anne On Fri, Nov 1, 2019 at 4:55 PM Anne Lutun via Contra Callers < contracallers@lists.shared
