(See B1 of Trumpet Vine for a description of Double Figure 8.) A2 1 – 8 All continue smoothly into Double Figures of 8 on the two sides of the dance with the end couples again crossing, but crossing and working with the person at the other end of their own line instead of with partner. The middles start by continuing up or down outside the ends and coming round to dance their Figure of 8 with their original neighbour instead of their partner, thus keeping in their own line. B1 1 – 2 1st and 4th couples meet in the middle while 2nd and 3rd couples continue their track outside them into the end places. 3 – 4 1st and 4th couples Corners Cross, ladies passing left shoulder and the men immediately after them passing right. This is a quick movement and is similar to the movement in bars 3 and 4 of A1 in The Lindsay Rant. 5 – 8 1st and 3rd couples Circle Left once round while 4th and 2nd couples do the same. B2 1 – 4 The couples in the end positions, keeping inside hands with their neighbours, wheel them round through the end places into a ring of 8.

Note: The A music should be lively, yet controlled, and danced with a skip change of step. The rings should be slipped and the rest walked.

Longways duple minor Jenny Beer, 2016 A1Start in a line of 4 on the 2nd diagonal (the Bingo line!) --partners take L hands, 1st corners R hands. Set in line. Middles (1st corners) turn R hand, face partner for half CW poussette. Partners switch to L hand to form a Bingo line again (on same diagonal, 2nd corners in the middle). A2Repeat A1 to original places. B1Interrupted double Mad Robin, CW, 1st corners pass through the center to start: Half mad robin. Partners set (“sleazy setting”= step R & close, step L & close, with a bit of hip action). Finish the Mad Robin, partners set again. All in original places. B2 1s cross, cast, 2s moving up. 1s dance a half figure 8 heading to their R: 1st woman DOWN around the new 2s, 1s man UP around current 2s, passing their shadow R shoulder. On the last beat, 2nd woman take one step diagonally in to anchor new Bingo lines. Teaching: A1: Your L hand belongs to your partner! Middles push to begin the poussettes. B1: Plain old setting is fine, though it’s nice to contrast with the vigorous setting inthe A figure, which fosters laughs and playfulness. B2: If you invite the shadows to greet each other it makes a “squeeze thru” moment into a friendly awaited one. End of B2: Stepping in, 2nd woman should extend L hand to partner and R hand to the arriving next 1st man, so that the 1s are clear where to “land” and 2nd man is reminded to face down.

The Bribe g:\ecd\video\ECD Bribe http://www.colinhume.com/instl.htm#Bribe Written for Orly Krasner of New York, who said she only started writing dances because she noticed I had written dances for several people she knew but thought I would never write one for her and nor would anybody else. I'm afraid it's too late to stop her now, but this is my attempt. She doesn't like the title — pity she didn't tell me that before we had a thousand CDs produced — and maybe she'll come up with an alternative. I tried to play the tune of "De'il take the Warr" on the piano, and twice I reversed the third and fourth notes and went back to the tonic for bar 2. After the second attempt I thought "That sounds interesting", and the rest of the A-music appeared. It obviously didn't want to finish at the end of 8 bars, so I gave it 12, and wrote a matching B-music. First danced at the Yuletide Cotillion in New York City, December 2003, with Bare Necessities playing the music. People struggled with the dance, and I called it a few times since then with mixed results. So in 2007 I produced an easier version and that's the one given here. I recommend that you demonstrate the whole dance. You can see a video of me demonstrating it at http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=1490705352804 Format: Longways duple minor. Dance and Music: Colin Hume, 2003, revised 2007. A1: (12 bars): First corners right-hand turn half-way; all right-hand star half-way. While second corners continue the turn home and on into neighbour's place, first corners cast out of the star, pass your same-sex neighbour left shoulder to face each other across the set: pass right shoulder into half a hey across while second corners cast out and follow neighbour, all finishing in partner's place (6 bars); all set to partner. A2: Second corners (now in first corners' place) the same. B: (12 bars) All back-to-back partner. Cross right, turn right; circle left half-way. Two-hand turn partner.

A2 1st and 3rd couple turn parner two-hands halfway. 1st couple cast into third place; 3rd couple lead up. 1st and 3rd couples dance a double half figure of 8, beginning with 1st couple crossing up while 3rd couple casts down. B1 All dance full mirror heys, beginning with 3rd couple (in middle place) dancing out and up, 2nd couple (in top place) dancing in and down, and 1st couple (in bottom place) dancing in and up. B2 1st and 3rd couple handy-hand turns once and a half on the sides, 1st couple splitting 3rd couple and 3rd couple casting down to begin. Lines of three on the sides fall back and come forward. The threes anchor the second half of the dance. At the end of A2, threes (in middle place) continue out and up to flow into the mirror hey; in contrast, at the end of the B1 threes (still in middle place) continue out but cast down into the handy-hand turns. I recommend a polite turn/courtesy turn at the end of the handy-hand turn, to give the ones a nice "flip" into the lines of three. It can be helpful to point out that the dancers with the handy-hand turns are the ones who start the next round of the dance. I originally wrote B2 with mirror dance rounds (gypsies) instead of turns; that's fun for the fleet-of-foot but can be a strain for many dancers, so I've revised the dance to recommend handy-hand turns. Thanks go to Linda Nelson for the suggestion. This is a dance with a lot of Scottish influence; I originally wrote A1 and A2 with right-hand turns, which feels natural from a Scottish perspective but a bit stilted in the English style, so I've revised the dance to recommend two-hand turns. Thanks go to Jenna Simpson and Melissa Running for the suggestion. https://sites.google.com/site/miriamcranenewman/home/choreography/cherries--chocolates Cheshire Rounds 6/ph watch donWFbell try bn00-08 dicks maggot 1 W1 cast down M1 follow 2 M1 between W1 around end 1place 3 M2 cast up W2 follow 4 W2 between M2 around end 2place all improper 5 cu1 cross go below cu2 pause 2H half 6 par 2H 7 four changes R+L 8 finish \a1510\BN07Nightcap\BN07-11 Chestnut.mp3 Chestnut, or, Dove's Figary Longways for six (BNN-11) bn04-02 ee2-13 Part I A 16 Partners lead up a double and back twice.

Dance and Music: Colin Hume, 2003. A1: (24 bar jig): First lady quick cast to middle place, end men step forward; set in a wave. Lady up: four changes of a hey for three, finishing with ones passing left shoulder - second man move down on the last four beats, third man loop left into top place. Lady down, man up: heys for three across, lady starting right shoulder with second man, man starting right shoulder with second lady - twos and threes not with partner. Ones keep going: pass the same person right shoulder and loop right to middle place. Lead to the bottom (bottoms cast up); two-hand turn half-way. A2: First man cast up to middle place, end ladies step forward; set in a wave. Man down: four changes of a hey for three, finishing with the ones passing left shoulder - 3rd lady move up on the last four beats, second lady loop left into bottom place. Lady down, man up: heys for three across (lady starting right shoulder with 2nd man, man starting right shoulder with 3rd lady). Ones keep going: pass the same person right shoulder and loop right to middle place. Lead to the top (tops cast); two-hand turn half-way. [Order is now 1, 3, 2.] Note: All the heys and the ones' loop are danced with a skip-change step. B1: (3-time): Ones cast to middle place (6 steps); half figure eight down. All circle 6 left half-way; gipsy right with partner. B2: Ones stand still, twos and threes half double figure eight through them, tops casting and bottoms crossing up (12 steps). Ones lead to the top and acknowledge (all home); ones cast to the bottom as the threes lead up. Commissioned by Karen Millyard (on behalf of the Toronto English Country Dance Group) for Christine Robb when she got married and moved to Boston. I was told by the group and her husband Kim what she liked: complex dance, energetic, stepping, complicated or unusual heys, strong driving open circles, gipsies - and came up with this. The first part may seem rather Scottish, but the three-time second part establishes it as English - with even a hint of Pat Shaw's Four Winds. The other dance I wrote for Christine is Christine's Conundrum - I don't know which of the two is harder!

D 1-4 Three changes R&L, starting with neighbor, with polite turn at end. 5-8 2H turn partner once around. * Since there are two chassé steps out and only one back, W1 is on the men's line and M2 is on the women's line, but their partners are outside the set. To return to the lines of the dance, W1, who is on her partner's left, pivots right under his arched arm as he moves in a larger arc outside her to end on the women's line. The twirl for the second couple is similar to a "California Twirl": W2 turns left under her partner's raised arm, but M2 pivots in place and W2 has the longer path along the inside to the men's line. An additional note from Tina Chancey about the music: "18th century musicians retained many musical habits from earlier centuries. One of the most interesting was the practice of musica ficta, spontaneously adding flats or sharps to a melodic line in performance to complement its direction or enhance the harmony. You'll see an example of that here, in bar 24, where a C natural is added to the melody, although the D chord below it doesn't act as a V chord leading to a G, as it does in bar 29. In the 16th-18th centuries the C is commonly lowered because the melodic line is falling. If it were rising, the C would be raised and act as a leading tone to the next note, D. To our modern ears it sounds like a blue note, a bit jazzy, but in the past they enjoyed the quick and subtle tonal shift."

Hagsätra Brudmarsch by Väsen Source: Keith Wood April 2012 Notes: I had identified possible dance tunes while listening to more Väsen music. Hagsätra Brudmarsch is such a stirring piece that I felt it had to have a dance for it. The music suggested sweeping turns, and so developed a longways set dance reminiscent of Hole in the Wall (one of my favourites). Brudmarsch translates as "bridal march". 1-2 Double figure of eight: 1s cast to second place, 2s cross up to first place 3-4 2s cast to second place, 1s cross up to first place 5-6 1s cast to second place, 2s cross up to first place 7-8 2s cast to second place, 1s cross up to first place 9-10 1s cast to second place, 2s lead up 11-14 1s half figure of eight up around 2s 15-16 1s cross by right shoulder great turk dave CN mock hobby 1 cu1 lead down cast back 2 1co cross 2co cross 3 nei lead out turn alone cross R with partner, then look at nei 4 nei facing, R+L 3 changes 5 circle L 6 partners bal, cross R, cu1 ready to lead down Great Turk Longways duple J Essex 1710.

Experienced dancers find this fairly natural. The curving and pace reflect the nature of Highway 7 on the Ottawa to Peterborough route. - The first lead down requires bottom C1 to imagine the second C2. - Couple 2 needs to ensure they get into progressed position at the end of the dolphin hey to keep the set from drifting, particularly down. The step close movements at the start of each round help with this. Dave Notes A1 is FAST, A2 and B part are too spacious Highway Seven (or Ottawa to Peterborough) file DH01 A1 C1 lead down past C2.

(That is the tune Roy used, when he introduced the dance, in my memory. I still remember the electric moment, when he first taught the dance, in an evening dance party at Pinewoods. * Hardest part to teach is the transition from B1 to B2, as the first couple needs to reverse direction, in order to easily orbit the set. I have often taught it by having the first couple preliminarily waltz around the set, in default direction for waltzing around the room (i.e., turning clockwise, as they orbit counter clockwise). But then, when some go to using the skipping step in the Hop Pickers' dance, they then forget. Perhaps, instead, the promenade needs to start with casting R, instead of L, but I "remember" learning it as a L cast, i.e., the man driving (which was the case in those days). * Note the quick progression in D2 (i.e., C4): it aims to get the 1st cu. to the btm. and the other cus. moved up, ending 2,3,1, but it requires dancers knowing where they are going and aiming there. * Finally, if memory serves, Roy introduced the 5-step, slip jig setting (used here). I then lifted it for my reconstruction of A3/A4 in Round about Our Coal Fire, inspired by Tom Cook's reconstruction, but working from the original, which I found (if memory serves) in a book in the Dundee (or perhaps Perth) Library in Scotland. Tom uses up the music with partner interaction, but the original says something to the effect of "corners foot it," except it probably said M1/W2, then W1/M2, which I like much better, given Roy's setting. We started dancing it that way in Boston, starting in the '80's, after I returned from one of my research trips, but some Boston callers (newer), who just looked at the Cook book and didn't know the tradition, dance it Tom's way. I don't know the origin of Roy's setting in Hop Pickers', though. HORSEPLAY R2-01 Duple Minor Longways Improper A Finite Set of Calculated Figures, 2003 Tune: Branle des Chevaux, T.

One is VERY fast. Peter Barnes, when asked why it was so fast, responded “We were younger then.” However, even the recording on the “At the Ball” CD is quite brisk. There is an older recording from the English Dance Master LP which has a good pace. However, King of Poland is one of the more tricky dances in the repertoire. It has quite simple figures, but they allow no time for recovery from delays. A minor relaxation of the usual “lady goes first” convention for the half-figure-eight near the end of the dance helps. If the man goes first, the figure is easier to execute in a tidy way. Otherwise the lady has to do a very quick change of direction as she completes the circular hey. If the man goes first, he need only make a left turn into the 1/2 figure of eight, while the lady can make a turn single R into the 1/2 figure eight after he has passed. This makes for a smoother flow and less rushing.

Most vocal versions of this tune include an instrumental break between the chorus and next verse – this dance is for the tune without the break. 2. The men's solo at the beginning of B1 coincides with the chorus line 'He goes burling down the white water' Gents should be encouraged to add any flourishes they desire in order to impress the ladies.

B 1-8 Mad Poussette, M2 and W1 pushing. 9-12 Draw poussette, W2, M1 pulling. (All progressed, improper.) 13-16 Set to ptnr, half gypsy R to progressed place, end facing up. Mad Poussette: This figure starts like a half poussette, but halfway through it becomes Mad Robin-like figure, with partners eyes locked on each other. It is easier than it looks (or describes) but there is a bit of trust required by M2 and W1 who pass backwards through another moving couple. The figure takes a full 8 bars and results in the couples changing places. 1. Start a half poussette, M2 and W1 pushing, then drawing back in other couples position. (Fig 1 - Fig 2.) 2. When the half poussette is not quite complete, M2 and W1 are just passing in the center. Release hands with ptnr but keep eyes locked. (Fig 2.) 3. M1 and W2 move on a right diagonal, their ptnrs staying in sync with them, like in a Mad Robin figure. W1 moves backwards to her left between 2nd cpl, and M2 moves backwards to his left between 1st cpl. (Figs 3 and 4.) 4. M1 and W2 in center, move L passing back-to-back while W1 and M2 curve R. Keep facing ptnr throughout! (Fig 5.) 5. End having exchanged position with other cpl. (Fig 6.) Copyright 2019, Carl Dreher Teaching Notes The women need to do a (fun!) flip at the end of the right hands across (A1,7-8) to face down. The Mad Poussette is simple in concept but devilish to explain, especially to experienced dancers. 1. Part of the problem is the name itself. People expect some kind of along-the-set Mad Robin movement, but that "eyes locked" movement is actually across the set. 2. After the couples almost complete the half-poussette in bars 1-4 of the figure, it is vitally important to emphasize that they are now where they will finish, i.e., they have changed places with the other couple. They will not change back again! The Mad Robin motion is basically a flourish on the end of the poussette and does not result in any progression or inversion. 3. In the figure as shown in the dance instructions, W1 and M2 are both backing up during the end of the normal half-poussette in bars 3-4. They continue backing up as they pass through the other couple (bars 5-6), and then they continue backing up some more as they sweep around the other couple (bar 7) before coming forward to their partner in bar 8. It all works perfectly if their partners, M1 and W2, drive forward in bars 3-7 and everyone remain in eyes-locked with their partner. Music Notes • Musicians, please pay attention to the legato and staccato markings, as Schubert wrote them. It makes quiet a difference in the sense of the melody. • A bit of emphasis on bars 5-6 of the A-music will help the setting step. • Moderate tempo! Keep it "slightly stately." • I purposely did not put a pickup note before the B music because I want the B music to feel like a distinctly different section. It is smooth, as is the Mad Poussette figure. \a1510\BN12-\BN12-02 Mad Robin.mp3 Mad Robin duple minor file bn12-02 KGB-02 UNK-04 Man 1 1 1co RH diagonal 2 Cu1 LH across!, M1 cast 2place (m2 move up) Lady 1 3 cu1 LH diagonal 4 2co RH across!, W1 cast 2place (w2 move up) 5 W1 mad robin: W1 up centre dn outside wh M1 up outside dn centre eyes! 6 cu1 2H 7 W2 mad robin: W2 dn centre up outside wh M2 dn outside up centre eyes! 8 cu2 2H Mad Robin From The Playford Ball BN12-02 Duple minor longways A1 1-8 1st man turn 2nd woman right-hand all way round, then turn 1st woman left-hand all way round and cast down to 2nd place, 2nd man moving up.

Dance Notes 1. The line-of-four across the set in B2 should be on the center of the star, i.e., between the progressed positions of the couples. That is why only a single bar (B2[3]) is given to move to the progressed place. 2. The transition at the end for W1 and the 2nd cpl, into the beginning of the dance, is very, very smooth. Copyright 2014, Carl Dreher Teaching Notes 1. In A2 [1-2], dancers tend to take only one bar while making the RH change with their partner. Emphasize the 2-bar, 4-bart, 2-bar structure, and that the R&L changes are two bars each while the two gypsies are a continuous, 4-bar movement. 2. The star is 12 steps around (4 bars) and so should be as large as possible. 3. In B1, when the dancers lead back in, there is a tendency to go too far and end close to the opposite couple instead of on the sideline. This compounds the above problem. 4. I thought of many ways of teaching “Straighten the Star”, but in the end, I just demonstrated it. Everyone got it instantly and did it perfectly. Music Notes 1. This is a very difficult tune to “feel”. It is a very flowing tune that must sing. Also, the first two notes feel like a pickup but are not! 2. Phrasing in the A parts is 2 bars, 4 bar, 2 bars. The phrasing in the B parts is 6-bars and 4 bars. The music was specifically written this way to accompany the dance movements, which as also structured as 2-4-2 and 6-4. The musicians must emphasize the flowing 4-bar melody line in the A part and the 6-bar phrase in the B part. (Melodically, the 4-bar theme in the A music is echoes in the 6-bar theme of the B music. Wonderful!) 3. The rhythm accompaniment cannot be the usually ¾ “oom-chuck-chuck”. That will totally kill the feel of the tune. The pianist must make the tune flow, especially where the melody has held half notes. 4. The tempo needs to be somewhat faster than the typical 3/2 English dance tune. I prefer 127.

Prince George of Denmark was born on April 2, 1653. On July 28, 1683, he married Anne, who reigned from March 8, 1702 to August 1, 1714. Prince George's County, Maryland, was named after him in 1696. According to some sources, Jeremiah Clarke wrote “The Prince of Denmark's March” around 1700 in his honor. He died on October 28, 1708.

B2 1 – 12 As in B1 but with 1st man working with 3rd couple and 1st lady with 2nd for the hey and Left Hand Turn. All should finish proper. Note: Although this need not be taken too slowly, it should have more of the character of the Minuet than of the Waltz. Musicians should take care to make the third beat of the bar really lead into the next in order to give the necessary flow to carry the dancers along. Each movement of the A music should be exactly phrased, whereas the movements of the B music should flow into each other much more; though, of course, at the end of B1 there should be a brief instant of rest when everyone is on the wrong side of the set. The 1st couples after their left hand turn at the end of B1 should not go straight into their right hand turn the shortest way, but should fall back into their progressed places, improper, on the last bar of B1.

Duple Minor / Longways, Proper. A1 First gentleman casts* below second man into his corner’s position (his corner waits 4 measures and then turns single L diagonally across the set into his position); they turn once around by R hand to end in each others’ position. A2 First lady casts* below her partner into her corner’s position (her corner waits 4 measures and then turns single R diagonally across the set into her position); they turn once around by L hand to end in each others’ position. * These casts are wide, and the #2 person waits until their corner has reached a point roughly alongside their partner before turning single up (out of the way!). It should not be a "bump", but a continuous motion for the #1. All are now improper and progressed; all face opposite up/down the set. B1 Three changes R & L variation: taking near hand with partner, set to the opposite couple and pass by w/ R hand; taking near hand with with neighbor, set to partner and pass by w/ L hand; B2 Taking near hand with partner, set to opposite couple and pass by w/ R hand; turn partner 2 hands once around. (First corners ready to cast up/down to continue.) Note: I was inspired by the version of this tune recorded by the Rodney Miller Band on their album Greasy Coat, and presented to Ruth Temple as a safe-homecoming wish when she went off to work at Pinewoods Dance Camp summer 1999 (and she did come Home thereafter, too).

To keep her happy I wrote a dance along the lines of the latter – the name reflects the link to that dance. 1-4 Take hands in the circle, forward a double to the centre and fall back a double 5-8 Two-hand turn partner once around 9-12 Take hands in the circle, forward a double and fall back a double 13-16 Two-hand turn corner once around 17-24 Pass partner by the left shoulder (2 bars), walk around next person by the right (4 bars), pass partner by the left back to place (2 bars) 25-32 Pass corner by the right shoulder (2 bars), walk around next person by the left (4 bars), pass corner by the right back to place (2 bars) 33-36 Side with partner 37-40 Two-hand turn partner once around 41-44 Side with corner 45-48 Two-hand turn corner once around 49-52 Men left hand star half-way around 53-56 Men pick up opposite woman in a half-ballroom hold and continue star; when the men reach their home turn as a couple to bring the women into the middle – men moving backwards and the women forwards 57-60 Women right hand star half-way around 61-64 Women pick up partner and continue star; finishing on the opposite side of the set facing partner 65-68 Arm right with partner 69-72 Two-hand turn partner once around 73-76 Arm left with corner 77-80 Two-hand turn corner once around 81-82 Take lower promenade hold with partner, man turns in place, woman moves inside the set to next woman's position (clockwise) 83-84 Take lower promenade hold with new partner (on the "wrong" side), man turns in place, woman moves outside the set to next woman's position (clockwise) 85-88 Repeat turns around the men to return women to their partner 89-90 Take lower promenade hold with partner, woman turns in place, man moves inside the set to next man's position (anti-clockwise) 91-92 Take lower promenade hold with new partner (on the "wrong" side), woman turns in place, man moves outside the set to next man's position (anti-clockwise) 93-96 Repeat turns around the women to return men to their partner The Rose of Rochester Formation: Four couples in a square set Source: A.

(Wikipedia) Remember Spirograph? Note that the B parts in the music are broken into 6 bar phrases and not the normal 4 bar ones. Experienced dancers should not touch hands when passing each other in the centre of the set.

La Serenissima Source: Keith Wood May 2012 Notes: This dance was inspired by the tune La Serenissima from Loreena McKennitt's album. The music is slow and flowing so I needed a dance to match.

Copyright 2019, Carl Dreher PART II A1 1-2 All side R shldr with ptnr, fall back. 3-4 Same as A1 A2 1-2 All side L shldr with ptnr, fall back. 3-4 Same as A1 PART III A1 1-2 All arm R with ptnr, fall back to line. 3-4 Same as A1 A2 1-2 All arm L with ptnr, fall back to line. 3-4 Same as A1 Construction Notes: • In part B of the music, each two bar phrase move up a musical step and increases in volume. The dance matches this by first starting with only two people (1st cpl) moving. In bars 3-4, four people (on the diagonal hey) are moving. Finally, at full intensity in bars 5-6, all six people are moving. • At the end, bars C 5-6, the bottom cpl (1st cpl) should go straight across passing R-shld, then R half gypsy. Do not turn this into a full gypsy! It is intended to visually match what the top two cpls are doing. Music Notes: • All the sixteenth notes in the score may look intimidating, but the tempo is quite moderate. Also, many of the jumps in the B and C parts can be simplified or even left out, although I would recommend mastering them and respecting Handel's intent. Teaching Notes • Each bar is four steps! • In part B, bar 2, the 1st cpl should think of the right-shldr pass as the beginning of the L-shlr hey for four on the diagonal. • For 1st cpl, the half heys across the dance in B 5-6 are simply loops out through the ends and around to 2nd place. It won't feel like much of a hey. • When the 3rd cpl progresses to the 2nd place, remind them that ending improper is correct! After deciding on a 3 cpl USA format, I had solid A and B sections choreographed, but an appropriate ending had me stumped. The dancers were in an odd position at the end of part B. How to resolve the dance without it feeling contrived? After a week of unsuccessful experiments, I just decided to stay up late one night until I got it done. By 1am I had an OK solution. I wrote it down and went to sleep, only to suddenly awake at 2am with a better solution. I quickly wrote it down and went back to bed, only to awake again at 3am with an even better solution. The next morning, I looked at my late-night scratchings and threw them all away. (The third one had something to do with a duck.) But they led to this final ending, which I think works very well. Thus the name of the dance.

Repeat the dance three more times. Jenna says: Tempo should be upbeat and lively, as on the wonderful, joyful recording by Elixir (to which it was written). The tune, “Tom Kruskal's,” was written by Amelia and Emily as a tribute to Tom as their mentor. Titling my dance “Under the Influence” was a playful nod to that fact, and to my gratitude to my own friends/mentors in the dance world who have influenced my work.

A1 1-8 1st couple cross, cast off below 3rd couple, dance up to second position and turn out to face nearest 2nd person. (W1 faces M2, M1 faces W2.) 2nd couple does not step up. A2 1-4 Taking two hands, M1 push W2 out on a right diagonal, then draw her back to 3rd position. …while… W1 similarly push M2 out and draw him back to 1st position …while… 3rd couple wait two bars and then lead up to second position. 5-8 All set and turn single. B1 1-8 All circle six hands round left and back right. B2 1-4 W1, followed by W3 and W2, cast off to 3rd place to invert the woman’s line. 5-8 All right-shoulder gypsy with partner. While listening to Daron’s tune on the Foxfire CD of the same name, I started dancing around our living room. The first sixteen bars almost wrote themselves. The B-music section was quite a struggle since the A-music leaves the dancers in a choreographically awkward spot. After hours of trying increasingly more complicated solutions, it came to me that simply inverting the woman’s line brings everyone back to their partner and in progressed places. Once again, I put on the music, dance what I had written so far and the final gypsy figure again wrote itself. This is a delightfully simple dance that perfectly fits Daron’s light-hearted jig. There are many opportunities for frivolous flirtation, especially when the women leave the men in B2 1-4 and then rejoin their partners for the gypsy. The dance flows beautifully from the turn single at the end of A2 into the circle at the beginning of B1, from the right circle at the end of B1 into the ladies’ cast at the beginning of A2, and from the final gypsy to the 1st couple cross at the beginning. The first eight bars may seem like a long time for the required path. The technique to fit the movement to the music is for the first couple to take extra time when turning back to back to face their 2nd person. They can assist each other and turn up and away, release nearer hand and turn opposite ways, or turn down and away. There is a great opportunity for flirtation and invention. This dance is very suitable for beginners.

Source: Dancing Master Volume 2, 1710: John Young. Format: Longways duple minor Original wording: The first Couple go the whole Figure of Eight with the second Couple, and then cross over and turn . Then the other Couple do the same : then cross over and Back to Back, then Right and Left quite round. The instructions have a repeat for A, and the A and B music are each 16 bars, giving an unusually long 64 bar figure. It looks straightforward, but there are at least three other interpretations. Bob Brand has done one but he didn't realise that "cross over" means "cross and cast" and he did some unusual stuff in the second part. Graham Christian has a much more unlikely version in CDSS News — he admitted that this was a very loose interpretation and if he looked at it now he would come up with something different. Andrew Shaw likes to keep everyone moving, so he has double figure eights and both couples doing the turns both times, which I think spoils the dance. It is quite clear that for the first eight bars the ones are doing the figure and the twos are watching them (and possibly learning the figure). In the second eight bars the twos do exactly the same. We seem to be losing the concept of watching the active couple — if we're not moving we think we're not part of the dance. I don't think there's much doubt what John Young intended for the first half. The ones do a full figure of eight down through the twos. The ones cross and cast, twos moving up, and the ones two-hand turn. There's certainly enough music for a turn all the way, leaving the ones improper. It's possible that it should be 1½ to finish proper; we'll reserve judgement until we see what happens later. The twos do the same, finishing with the ones above the twos, probably with both couples improper. The ones again cross and cast, again with the twos moving up, then the ones do a back-to-back, so they are below the twos on their original side — just where you would expect them to finish the dance. And then four changes of a circular hey. That's fine for the ones, but the twos are still improper. And if we decided the turn in the first half was 1½, we would now have the twos proper but the ones improper, so that won't help. Andrew has the twos doing a right-hand turn half-way as they move up, but this strikes me as very unlikely (and they sometimes forget to do it). Remember the basic principle: the twos (and threes, for a triple minor) are only there to help the ones as needed. See the comments on the section Adapting Triple Minor Dances. So my suggestion is that the ones do four changes but the twos only join in as needed, in other words starting with the second change. Is it right? I don't know. Is it more likely than other suggestions? I'll leave you to decide! Draw Cupid Draw Colin Hume Format: Longways duple minor. A1: Ones full figure eight through the twos.

Foxhunter's Jig Format: Longways duple minor. Dance: Colin Hume, 2009. Tune: Traditional Irish (slip-jig). Each line is four bars of slip-jig: 12 steps. A1: First corners set: three even steps each way, no bounce, emphasise the first step. Two-hand turn (6 steps). A2: Second corners set. Two-hand turn. B1: All single file clockwise half-way. Move in to the centre; turn out to your left, clapping on the first beat of the bar. B2: Single file anti-clockwise half-way. Move in; turn out to your right, clapping on the first beat. C1: First corners cross right; second corners cross right. Fall back three steps with neighbour; lead forward. C2: All that again, to end in a line of four facing down with the ones in the middle. D1: Lead down, then turn towards neighbour to face up (6 steps). Lead up and bend the line — twos move in to progressed places. D2: Four changes of a circular hey with hands. Colin was calling for The Round, the Cambridge University Dance Group, and wanted to use mainly tunes from the band's standard repertoire, so he wrote this dance in 18th century style to fit the traditional Irish slip-jig. The Fast Packet Dance: Bob Lilley, 1988. Music: 32-bar hornpipes such as “Another Fast Packet” by Colin Hume, 2007. Format: Longways duple. All danced to a step-hop. A1: First corners right-forearm turn 1½ or 2½ to change places. Second corners the same. A2: First corners do-si-do (lots of time). Second corners the same. B1 On the right diagonal all clap together, together, Right, on left diagonal together, together, Left; with partner together, Right, together, Left, together, together, both. All that again. B2: In fours, circle left 1½ (about 5 bars). Half poussette in the same clockwise direction (first corners pushing). Bob says: “I was writing software for a fast Packet Switching Engine at the time and Fast Packet suggested itself as being folky, in a sea-shantyish sort of way.” This excellent dance was published in CDSS News July/Aug 1999 and has become one of the very few step-hop dances to enter the American repertoire. American musicians who play for English Country Dance are convinced that every English dance has its own tune and are thrown into confusion if the caller asks for “32-bar hornpipes” which would be very normal in England. So they had to put a tune in CDSS News, and Bob suggested an undotted hornpipe which has now become “the” tune for the dance. I much prefer a dotted hornpipe, so here's my suggestion. Try it and see whether you prefer it — and don't listen to anyone who tells you it's the wrong tune! Bob also likes the “Bromsberrow Heath Reel”, also known as “Beatrice Hill's Reel”, published by EFDSS in “Hardcore English”. His other dance on my website is Rebecca's Progress The Duchess of York Street The Duchess of York Street: Music in PDF, MIDI and ABC formatPrint this dance Dance: Sue DuPre. Music: Bob Pasquarello, 2006. Format: Longways duple, twos improper. A: First lady cast right shoulder, go round the other three, above partner and across, while the others follow close at 2-bar intervals, to finish in a line facing down. From the left: first lady, second man, second lady, first man. B: Lead down two waltz steps; two-hand turn neighbour half-way. Lead up two waltz steps; two-hand turn neighbour half-way into a column. C: All set forward diagonally right and left to pass neighbour left shoulder; ones walk around right half-way while twos cast. Ones cast and lead, twos lead and cast. D: Take ballroom hold with partner and waltz half-way round the other couple. Balance the ring; cloverleaf turn single on the sides, out and away from original neighbour (men left, ladies right). Dance and tune written for Debbie Kantor of Lawrenceville, New Jersey. Farewell to the Shore Ffarwel i'r Marian: Music in PDF, MIDI and ABC formatAdded 24-Sep-13Print this dance Dance: Daniel Seppeler, 2012. Music: “Ffarwel i'r Marian” (Traditional Welsh). Format: Longways duple improper. A1: Men cross and face partner up and down the set; two quick changes without hands. Circle left. A2: Ladies cross and face partner across the set; two quick changes. Circle left again. B1: Face partner and change places with neighbour thus: Ladies forward and men backward one waltz step, all one step sideways into a column; another step sideways, ladies backward and men forward one waltz step. All back-to-back partner. A3: Two-hand turn neighbour half-way and face out; lead out. Lead in, cross with partner, turn single away from neighbour. The Seppelers at the 2010 Jane Austen Ball in RochesterBarbara and Daniel Seppeler hail from Rochester, NY and can often be found frequenting dance activities throughout the New England and Great Lakes areas of the US and Canada. Barbara is an accomplished ECD pianist whose enthusiasm for English Country Dance tunes often finds her husband Daniel conscripted into calling and writing dances on many of her latest discovered passions. Such was the case with “Farewell to the Shore” in which Daniel was pressed into service to appease his sovereign and developed a solution to use that tune for a dance which would debut in a long narrow hall. Daniel is a software programmer by day and unleashes aptitude of his pattern and style on dance communities by night as he and his partner travel under the persona of Fine Companions. Heidi's Waltz Heidi's Waltz: Music in PDF, MIDI and ABC formatPrint this dance Dance: Colin Hume, 1993. Music: Dave Brown / Colin Hume, 1993. Format: Longways duple. A: First corners set (in waltz time, so it's three even steps — no bounce); cross right shoulder. Circle left ¾ (all finishing improper). B: Second corners set; cross right shoulder but do not turn back. Left-hand turn partner on the side. C: First corners right-hand turn half-way; their partners come in behind them for a right-hand star once around to progressed places (4 bars); all turn single left. D: Take ballroom hold and waltz once around the other couple. Dave Brown wrote the first tune. The second tune is called “Laurie's Waltz” and is dedicated to Laurie Buchanan who now lives in Oregon. I met Laurie on the first “Bare Necessities” tour of England, run by Ken McFarland in (I think) 1991. I wasn't part of the tour, but I went to several of the dances and got on very well with some of the Americans, especially Laurie. I was asked to write the dance to Dave's tune for Heidi Chapman, who was also on the tour, and decided to write a second tune to it as well. Snowflake Waltz Snowflake Waltz: Music in PDF, MIDI and ABC formatPrint this dance Format: Longways triple, triple progression. Dance: Colin Hume, 2013. Music: Mary Brock, 2007. A: (16 bars): Ones cross down into hey contrary sides. Ones cross down into hey own sides half-way. All back-to-back: one waltz step forward, one right, one backward, one left. [Now 3, 2, 1.] B1: (16 bars): Ones with the two couples below them, right-hand star (the snowflake) — at the very top the spare twos and threes do a four-hand star. Threes and twos (including the spare twos and threes at the top) half poussette clockwise. [Now 2, 3, 1] B2: Ones with the two couples above, left-hand star. Ones with the twos below them half poussette clockwise. Both poussettes continue the way you are going; you can also think of them as top man pushing, bottom man pulling. I would start everything on the right foot, which means that in the back-to-back the step to the right starts with the left foot going across in front of the right foot. Mary BrockFirst called at Eastbourne Folk Festival, May 2013, with music by Weston Country Dance Band: Mary and John Brock and their daughter Christina (who cancelled an orchestra rehearsal to be there on the Friday night when the dance was debuted). It worked, but I couldn't stop calling! Mary has written a number of successful tunes in a variety of styles. Many of them have had dances written for them by different callers. Some of her tunes can be found on the Band's website. The Snowflake Waltz was composed at a particularly snowy time, and seemed gentle enough to suggest falling snow, which Colin has translated into a six-hand star snowflake! The Stroll The Stroll: Music in PDF, MIDI and ABC formatPrint this dance Format: Longways duple. Dance: Colin Hume, Music: Heather Bexon, 2011. A1: All lead up three steps starting right foot, kick left foot forward on the fourth beat; fall back three steps and together. Still facing up, set (R L R, L R L); California twirl. A2: The same facing down. B1: Ones cast (twos lead up) and cross to tidal waves with the ones facing out. All set; turn neighbour ¾ to a line of four facing down. B2: All lead down (in the same style); fall back and bend the line. Circle left half-way; twos California twirl. Heather BexonFirst danced at the 2011 Stafford Music Day. One regular feature of the Music Day was the “Scenarios”, when the musicians split into four or five bands each of which practises one or two tunes. In the next session each band in turn plays the music while I try to persuade the other musicians to dance to it. Heather Bexon chose the music for the scenarios, and one of the bands learnt Chris Dewhurst's tune “Monkey Island” plus a second tune (written by Heather for the occasion) called “The Stroll”, so naturally I wrote a dance to go with it. Heather is the daughter of Ken and Naomi Alexander and has written tunes to several of Ken's dances, now published in the book “Home Brew”. Perhaps her best-known tunes are those written for Ron Coxall's dances, including “Midnight Moorings” for his dance “Turn of the Tide”. In 2011 she published a book of “Heather's Tunes” which you can buy from her for £7.50 — e-mail Heather at heather.bexon@btinternet.com or phone her on 01449 615816. It's also available from Derek and Ann Appleing (Folk Sales). Swirling Waters Swirling Waters: Music in PDF, MIDI and ABC formatPrint this dance Dance and Music: Colin Hume, 2009. Format: Longways duple improper — double progression. A1: Right-hand star half-way; turn out (to the left). Left-hand star half-way; turn out (to the right). A2: Ladies cross right shoulder; men cross right shoulder. Circle left half-way; ones cast, twos lead up. [First progression] B1: Interlocking heys: ones lead down through new twos and cast up while twos move up and lead down, then ones lead up through original twos and cast down while twos move down and lead up. B2: Take ballroom hold and waltz round the new couple 1½ to finish facing the next couple. [Second progression] First called at my House Party weekend at The Paddocks Hotel in Symonds Yat, near Ross-on-Wye, Herefordshire, in November 2009. I didn't have a name for it, and Dick Hosking suggested this because the river Wye (which runs very close to the hotel) was in flood — the waters certainly were swirling. Amy Amy: Music in PDF, MIDI and ABC formatPrint this danceRecordings Format: Longways duple. Dance and Music: Colin Hume, 2006 A: All step right and honour partner; turn single left. Step left and honour partner; cross right with partner. B: Right-hand star. First lady and second man leading, others following same-sex neighbour, loop left and move across the set so that the leaders have changed places and the followers have gone in a loop and got nowhere, all finishing with left shoulder to partner. C: With right-hand neighbour (semi-permanent shadow) gipsy right. With partner gipsy left 1¼ until first man and second lady are facing each other. D: They (the new leaders) pass right shoulder into a straight hey across the set: each person does two changes and then loops right — the leaders will want to loop left but they mustn't. Circle left ¾. Amy LundWritten in June 2006 for Amy Lund, whom I danced with at a wonderful dance weekend in upstate New York. The next day I was having a restful time in Baltimore and inspiration struck — I wrote the tune and then the dance quite rapidly, and called it that evening with musicians Jonathan Jensen, Becky Ross and Marty Taylor. After the dance finished, Jonathan said to the dancers, “It's a good tune, but it's in the wrong key for singing”! He then proceeded to sing some words to the first half of the tune, which he had written during the walkthrough. A week later I called it at a potluck at Charlie Dyer's house in Jacksonville, Florida, with Carole Wetzel playing piano. Charlie has a recording of one turn of the dance at http://www.danceflorida.com/Amyweb.wmv — you may notice me nearly going wrong at one point! There's also a demonstration of the dance at www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=1490701352704 where you can see me dancing with Amy. The final move confuses people — particularly when they change numbers. Once people “get” the move it flows perfectly well. Make sure that when you make the circle the two men are together and the two ladies are together. Gene Murrow's suggested wording is, “The first corner people meet for what feels like 3 changes of a hey across the dance, with a twist. Those people do only two changes — pass right, next person left, then, instead of looping left as you would want, you loop right into a circle. The others carry on normally, joining the circle…” People are also confused by the “shadow” business. You have the same shadow until one of you reaches the end of the set. At that point things get confused — you find two men gipsying at the top and two women gipsying at the bottom, and the neutral couples panic and try to change sides, which doesn't help because there are actually three men in the top foursome! Then as you go back the other way you have another shadow — it's the partner of your partner's previous shadow, if that's any help!

A1: (12 bars): First corners right-hand turn half-way; all right-hand star half-way. While second corners continue the turn home and on into neighbour's place, first corners cast out of the star, pass your same-sex neighbour left shoulder to face each other across the set: pass right shoulder into half a hey across while second corners cast out and follow neighbour, all finishing in partner's place (6 bars); all set to partner. A2: Second corners (now in first corners' place) the same. B: (12 bars) All back-to-back partner. Cross right, turn right; circle left half-way. Two-hand turn partner. Orly KrasnerWritten for Orly Krasner of New York, who said she only started writing dances because she noticed I had written dances for several people she knew but thought I would never write one for her and nor would anybody else. I'm afraid it's too late to stop her now, but this is my attempt. She doesn't like the title — pity she didn't tell me that before we had a thousand CDs produced — and maybe she'll come up with an alternative. I tried to play the tune of “De'il take the Warr” on the piano, and twice I reversed the third and fourth notes and went back to the tonic for bar 2. After the second attempt I thought “That sounds interesting”, and the rest of the A-music appeared. It obviously didn't want to finish at the end of 8 bars, so I gave it 12, and wrote a matching B-music. First danced at the Yuletide Cotillion in New York City, December 2003, with Bare Necessities playing the music. People struggled with the dance, and I called it a few times since then with mixed results. So in 2007 I produced an easier version and that's the one given here. I recommend that you demonstrate the whole dance. You can see a video of me demonstrating it at www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=1490705352804. Colin's Tambourine Colin's Tambourine: Music in PDF, MIDI and ABC formatPrint this danceRecordings Colin's Tambourine Colin's Tambourine: Music in PDF, MIDI and ABC formatPrint this danceRecordings Format: Longways duple minor. Dance and Music: Colin Hume, 2001. A1: First corners cast left shoulder, behind neighbour, gipsy left in the middle and fall back into each other's place. A2: Second corners cast right shoulder, behind partner, gipsy right in the middle and fall back into each other's place. B1: Ones cast up, twos lead down and follow, ones lead down to the middle of a line of four facing down. Lead down a double, fall back, bend the line.

C: Ones face partner: two changes of a straight hey; ones cast, twos do another change [progressed]. All two-hand turn partner. The first lady will want to loop up at the end of the straight hey, but she has to loop down! Just remember that you're aiming for your progressed places. Golden tambourineBarbara CampaniniThis one came about because Gene Murrow was in England calling “Barbarini's Tambourine” and saying, “And of course the tambourine was a dance in those days — nothing to do with that round thing with jingles”. This worried me, since I use the title as an excuse to play my tambourine. So I wrote a dance which is dedicated to that round thing with jingles. Furthermore, on the left you can see the original Barbarini, whose name was Barbara Campanini (1721-1799), and she did dance with that round thing with jingles. I'm proud to say that I've played for “Barbarini's Tambourine” in the States with Bare Necessities (with Gene Murrow calling) and Peter Barnes requested a whistle and tambourine solo for one turn of the dance — so there! If you need further convincing of the tambourine's respectability, on the right is a gold tambourine player from the “Gates of Paradise” of the Florence Baptistry created between 1401 and 1422. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battistero_di_San_Giovanni_(Florence) for more details of the Baptistry and its gates. The Countryman's Hat Bracken Rigg: Music in PDF, MIDI and ABC formatPrint this dance Dance: Irene Crew. Date unknown. Music: “Bracken Rigg” by Jack Armstrong. Format: Longways duple A1: All right-hand turn partner half-way; right-hand star all the way (4 bars); ones cast, twos lead up. A2: Half double figure eight: twos (at the top) cast and cross coming up while ones half figure eight up, all finishing proper in progressed place. Men left-hand turn, ladies right-hand turn. B1: Ones pass partner right shoulder to start a diagonal reel with the second man (who casts into it from the turn). B2: Ones pass partner left shoulder to start a diagonal reel with the second lady. First published in English Dance and Song, Autumn 1999. I was calling at the County Club in Exeter in 1999 and started with “The Countryman's Hat” by Irene Crew. People pointed out that Irene was dancing at the head of one of the sets, and during the tea break I met and talked to her and several other ladies about the good old days of the Society. The County Club (officially the Devon District Playford Club) consists mainly of older ladies who enjoy their dancing, prefer Playford-style repertoire, and are concerned that there should be teaching during the session rather than just a string of dances. They meet once a month on a Sunday afternoon and have live music — on the three occasions that I've called there, the very live music of Gwynn George on piano. Later I contacted Irene to talk about dances and dancing. Irene started dancing when she was 14, and when I met her she was 83. She gained the EFDSS Silver Badge and accompanying certificate, and knew most of the EFDSS staff; she remembers Cecil Sharp House being bombed during the second world war and then rebuilt. She describes herself as “Folk Dance mad”! She used to call dances, but she prefers to dance traditional and Playford dances in an environment where the dancers know the dances and a caller is not needed; she feels dancers these days are too lazy to use their brains. The Society was very different in her early days. There were not so many men until Princess Elizabeth joined the square dance craze in the 1950's and younger people came in. Morris dancing used to be part of the Society; now it is run by different organisations. And dances in those days had a song spot — usually unaccompanied. Irene has written a number of dances, but has never found the time to publish them, so here on my website are two I've picked up over the years — the other is Barbara Walton's Delight. This is a real winner: it flows beautifully from one movement to the next and gives the dancers great opportunities to work together as a team and fit the movements to the music. I can imagine it working well as a Scottish dance too, and it is set to a Scottish reel which might encourage people to dance it rather than walk it. Barbara Walton's Delight was written for a dancing friend who was planning to retire from school early but had a massive heart attack around 1990 and died before this could happen. The Countryman's Hat was written while she and Barbara were on one of their trips to the Scilly Isles. They became drowsy; Barbara went to sleep and Irene says the whole dance just came to her. She has no idea why she chose the title. Elderberry Bubblegum Elderberry Bubblegum: Music in PDF, MIDI and ABC formatPrint this dance Format: Longways duple minor. Dance: Colin Hume, 2011. Music: Peter Jenkins, 2011. Each sentence is 2 bars of 5-time (10 steps). A: Ones cross, cast, cross again to the end of a line of four facing up. Lead up 5 steps; ones gate the twos up and round to finish back in the longways set but further up the hall. Twos cross, cast up, cross again to the end of a line of four facing down. Lead down 5 steps; twos gate the ones down and round to finish in home position. B: Three-quarter double figure eight: ones cross down, cast up, cross down again and turn out while twos cast up, cross down, cast up again, to finish with the twos improper above and the ones proper below. Symmetrical back-to-back with neighbour, started by the twos leading down and the ones moving up the outside. Twos half figure eight down through the ones while ones move up the outside and lead down the middle. With new neighbours, circle left. Peter JenkinsPeter Jenkins was leading his band Kafoozalum at a Scottish Ceilidh when the caller turned to him and said “Elderberry Bubblegum”. At least that's what Peter heard — he puts it down to his great age and failing hearing. At home later the words “Elderberry Bub — ble — gum” went round in his head and he decided the tune he had to write needed to be in 5-time to reflect the rhythm of the title. Naturally (since I'm the only person he knows who has written a dance in 5-time) he then asked me to write the dance! He envisaged it as a bourrée, but I pointed out the limited market for a bourrée in 5-time and he agreed to let me slow it down considerably to fit a walking step. He's written it out in 5/4 time rather than 5/2 time as he doesn't want each bar to be accompanied by oom-cha oom-cha oom-cha oom-cha oom-cha (he says “think of each bar as half a bar of reel followed by a bar of waltz”), but that makes it very easy to play it too fast for the dancers. First performed at The Southam Gathering in August 2011 with Deo Volente playing the music and emphasising the first beat of each bar; you could feel the concentration from dancers, band and caller but it seemed to go well. Peter has a MIDI version of the tune played seven times through on the Kafoozalum website. Folkus Pocus Folkus Pocus: Music in PDF, MIDI and ABC formatPrint this dance Format: Longways duple minor. Dance and Music: Colin Hume, 2005. Note: The music is in 3-time. A1: Right-hand star half-way (3 steps); turn single left (3 steps). First corners left shoulder back-to-back (6 steps). A2: Left-hand star half-way; turn single right. Second corners right shoulder back-to-back. B: Face neighbour: three changes of a circular hey with hands (3 steps for each), then pass next (previous) neighbour left shoulder to face yet another neighbour. Three changes of a circular hey with hands, then pass next neighbour left shoulder to face original neighbour in home place. [If you reach the end of the set, do one change with your partner while the others are doing three changes.] C: First corners Hole-in-the-Wall cross: 3 steps to cross and face, clap both hands with opposite on beat 4, fall back on beats 5 and 6; second corners as much. Partners as much; two-hand turn partner. Folkus PocusWritten for Dan and Caroline Hollingshurst, who were the band for almost all of my Wednesday Workshops for two and a half years at Cecil Sharp House. I wanted to write them a tune which would suit their style (though indeed they have many styles), and I knew how well they played Dave Wiesler's tune for Gary Roodman's dance “Mary K”, so I took that as a model. I then got worried and sent a copy to Dave with a note: “I know they say that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, but please tell me whether you think this is too close to your tune for Mary K.” He wrote back, “Parts are surely reminiscent of Mary K, but then parts of Mary K are reminiscent of Hambleton's Round O. I think we all borrow and imitate. Nice tune, and no it's not too close at all.” First danced at Dan and Caroline's final Wednesday Workshop on 29th June 2005, with Thomas Bending playing the music. Thomas was working hard to play the tune, I was working hard to call the dance, and all the dancers (including Dan and Caroline) were working hard to get through it. Fairly normal for a Wednesday Workshop, in fact! It doesn't go quite as fast as you could take Mary K — it's a very busy dance and the end-effects are very confusing. If in doubt, at least get back on your own side at the start of each turn of the dance — opposite your partner would be even better if you can manage that too.

Tune: Traditional Irish (slip-jig). Each line is four bars of slip-jig: 12 steps. A1: First corners set: three even steps each way, no bounce, emphasise the first step. Two-hand turn (6 steps). A2: Second corners set. Two-hand turn. B1: All single file clockwise half-way. Move in to the centre; turn out to your left, clapping on the first beat of the bar. B2: Single file anti-clockwise half-way. Move in; turn out to your right, clapping on the first beat. C1: First corners cross right; second corners cross right. Fall back three steps with neighbour; lead forward. C2: All that again, to end in a line of four facing down with the ones in the middle. D1: Lead down, then turn towards neighbour to face up (6 steps). Lead up and bend the line — twos move in to progressed places. D2: Four changes of a circular hey with hands. I was calling for The Round, the Cambridge University Dance Group, and wanted to use mainly tunes from the band's standard repertoire, so I wrote this dance in 18th century style to fit the traditional Irish slip-jig. Hands Across the Water Added 7-Sep-14Hands Across the Water: Music in PDF, MIDI and ABC formatPrint this dance Format: Longways duple minor. Dance and Music: Colin Hume, 2014. A1: Ones cross and cast; twos lead up. Pass the ocean; set in a wave. A2: Right-hand turn neighbour 1¼ (so the twos finish facing the men's wall). Second lady followed by partner go up outside first man and move across to finish proper; ones lead down. B1: First corner positions (second man and first lady) cross; the others cross and stay facing out. Lead neighbour away; turn in and lead back. B2: Partners back-to-back. Two slow changes with hands. The Dancehall PlayersWritten and called at the “Hands Across the Water” weekend in Victoria, British Columbia, and dedicated to Rosemary Lach, Ann Schau and The Dancehall Players. I wanted it to be a surprise for all concerned, and it was done in rather a rush! I finished writing the tune on the Saturday evening (with Rosemary waiting for me to leave the house) so that I could give it to Ann (with a fake title) at the dance that evening and she could print out copies for the rest of the band. That night after calling the dance and socialising I finished writing the dance at half past midnight, so it was actually finished on the Sunday morning and called later that morning in the final session. It's the first time I've presented a new dance without ever having heard the tune and chords, but it all seemed to work! The Dancehall Players provided fabulous music all weekend and the dancers danced with considerable style, otherwise I wouldn't have finished with two slow changes — many dancers would rush that and it would be an unsatisfactory conclusion. Rosemary LachRosemary called the dance a few days later with me on piano, and she and the dancers like it much faster than I do, so 96 is their tempo not mine; Ann and I would have gone for something around 84! “Pass the ocean” is a figure from Modern Western Square Dancing. It's now used in a number of modern contras, but choreographers and callers have renamed it “Pass through to an ocean wave” to conceal its origins. My view is that a good figure is a good figure and I don't worry where it comes from. In this case you're all facing across to your partner. You pass through right shoulder, but the two ladies give left hands as they meet which means they will turn each other slightly and the men having gone further across then turn to their right to give right hand to their neighbour in a wave across the set. All that in four steps, but it's an easy figure once you've got it. The symbolism is that the wave represents water, it's across the hall, and you all take hands — Hands Across the Water! Jug of Punch Jug of Punch: Music in PDF, MIDI and ABC formatPrint this dance Format: Longways duple minor. Dance: Colin Hume, 2000. Tune: Traditional (3-time). First Figure: Up a double and back (3 steps each); that again. Ones cast, twos lead up; all two-hand turn. Second Figure: Side right; side left. Second corners cross right, loop right; right-hand star ¾. Third Figure: Arm right; arm left. Three-quarters of a double figure eight: first man go straight down the outside (don't spin round), second man hand your lady into the cross up (9 steps), then twos turn single away while ones two-hand turn half-way (3 steps). Do the figures 1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3, etc. Because each figure is only eight bars, people progress rapidly and forget which couple they are now working with. Remember that every other figure starts with a neutral couple at the top. I was booked to call with Jug of Punch, a band from the West Country, at Sidmouth Festival 2000. I hadn't heard of them, and when I phoned their leader with a list of tunes he didn't know any of them, which I found a little perturbing. I would have been even more perturbed if I'd realised he played melodeon and trumpet! He reassured me by saying they were all school-teachers (interesting logic, that) and good sight-readers. The Festival arrived, and they were superb. I don't think I've ever described a band's sound as “glorious” before, but theirs certainly was when that trumpet came in. On the last day of the Festival I tested their sight-reading skills by presenting them with the tune for this dance — a traditional song which I performed many times in the days when I was a Folk singer and guitarist. As I walked the dance through I realised that the third figure didn't progress — I'd used a full double figure eight. It was the final dance of the session and I had ten minutes left! People who were there will attest to the fact that I didn't panic. After a few seconds thought I told the dancers to do the figure eight and then “progress somehow” (which they did), but I'm glad to say I've since sorted things out.

B All back-to-back partner. Right-hand star ¾ to finish beside partner, ones on men's side, man on left of lady. C: Open ladies chain across and back (men start by casting out, and walk forwards the whole time) and on the final left-hand turn partner finish with ones below twos but well out from set position, men facing in, ladies out. D: Give two hands and poussette back into the longways set; set to partner. Turn single; two-hand turn half-way. Julia Day played fiddle with Wild Thyme and now plays fiddle with Keeping Thyme and keyboard with Contradition. In November 2011 Contradition were booked to play for me at my regular “House Party” weekend and Dave Brown pointed out that the Friday was Julia's 50th birthday and we ought to do something special. So I wrote the dance, Shane and Julia danced from the top of the set and Dave and I played the music on fiddle and keyboard while I called. It was suggested that a dance for Julia should not be one of my totally impossible ones, so this is more accessible than most, though I usually have to demonstrate getting from the open ladies' chain into position for the poussette and I have real trouble getting the men to walk forwards in the chain. Mrs Felton's Maggot Mrs Felton's Maggot: Music in PDF, MIDI and ABC formatPrint this danceRecordings Format: Longways duple. Dance and Music: Colin Hume, 2006 A: Second corners Hole-in-the-Wall cross; circle left ¾. Original first corners (now in second corners' place) Hole-in-the-Wall cross; circle left ¾ (home). B: Ones cross and cast, twos meet, lead up and turn out; symmetrical back-to-back with neighbour: ones lead up to start. Ones half figure eight up while twos move down the outside and lead up; all two-hand turn partner. First danced at Liz Felton's 50th Birthday Dance in October 2006, with music from Contradition. Liz and her husband John are such beautiful dancers that it's always a pleasure to watch them dancing together. One of Liz's suggestions for the programme was Playford's classic “Mr Beveridge's Maggot”, and the dance and tune were inspired by that. It can even be danced to a recording of “Mr Beveridge's Maggot”, provided you use one intended for Pat Shaw's interpretation which (correctly) has only one B, unlike Cecil Sharp's. But you don't need to do that now — there's a recording by Dampier's Round on their Spring Blossom CD. I originally wrote it with the corners the other way round in A1, but in both cases the previous move (the two-hand turn at the end of the dance and the circle left ¾ after the first cross) leaves the people in first corner positions moving out of the minor set and the people in second corner positions moving towards each other, so the modification improves the flow. Apologies to Jonathan Jensen — I've borrowed a musical phrase from one of his tunes (and if you don't know which, I'm not going to tell you). I tried three other versions of the tune, but the band and I thought that none of them was as good as the original, so I've gone back to that. Later Liz commissioned me to write Mr Felton's Retirement. The Music Will Tell You The Music Will Tell You: Music in PDF, MIDI and ABC formatPrint this dance Format: Longways duple minor improper. Dance and both tunes: Colin Hume, 2006 A1: (24 steps): Ladies cast left shoulder, behind neighbour, cross left, behind partner (12 steps). Two-hand turn opposite 1½ and circle left half-way (12 steps). A2: Men cast left shoulder, behind partner, cross left, behind neighbour. Two-hand turn partner 1½, circle left half-way. [Progressed, twos improper, ones proper.] B1: (24 steps): Right-hand turn partner ¾ to a wave up and down, then ladies left-hand turn 1½ as men orbit to meet partner at the other end of the wave (12 steps). Back-to-back partner (6 steps); pass through, California twirl neighbour (6 steps). [Progressed, twos proper, ones improper.] B2: Right-hand turn partner ¾ to a wave up and down, then men left-hand turn 1½ as ladies orbit to meet partner at the other end of the wave. Back-to-back partner. Face out, California twirl neighbour. The idea is that the band switches smoothly from one tune to the other at the caller's request, and the dancers adapt their style accordingly — the music should tell them! See the notes on the session for which I wrote this dance. The dance worked fine when I called it at Southam, but some people found the slow tune too slow and the fast tune too fast, and some found the slow tune too miserable. This is a revised version of the tune — nobody has complained yet. But it's never been that successful and it puts a lot of strain on the musicians, so I probably won't call it again. Now Is the Month of Maying Now Is the Month of Maying: Music in PDF, MIDI and ABC formatPrint this dance Format: Longways duple minor. Dance: Jenny Beer, 1997. Music: Thomas Morley, 1595. A1: First corners set moving forward; turn single. All change places right shoulder with partner and then dance single file clockwise round the outside of the set to end progressed and proper. A2: Second corners (now in first corner positions) the same, all ending in original places. B1: Women half figure eight through the men — first woman go first. (The posts move, as in a mirror image back to back). Half poussette anti-clockwise with opposite (first man pull, second man push). B2: Men half figure eight through the ladies — first man go first. Half poussette anticlockwise with partner (again first man pull, second man push). First published in CDSS News 147, March/April 1999, page 15. A nice dance to the well-known madrigal. Jenny is now back in Philadelphia, though for several years she lived in California. People have real trouble finishing A1 on their proper side, so a demonstration might be in order. Jenny wrote it as above, but she finds that in B2 the second man wants to lead the half figure eight (even though at this point he is moving backwards and the first man is moving forwards) so she says you may find it easier to let him do so. The Olive Grove Print this dance Format: Longways duple minor. Dance: Elaine Beckingham, Date unknown. Music: Childgrove (Playford) A1: Lead up a double; cast back to place.

Pachelbel's Canon Print this dance Format: Longways duple minor improper, double progression. Dance: Colin Hume, 2002. Music: Pachelbel or Colin Hume A1: Ones down a double and back twice // Twos stand apart. A2: Ones face partner: fall back a double; move forward // Twos up a double and back. Ones turn single down; right-hand turn half-way // Twos up a double and back. B1: Ones half figure eight down // Twos face partner: fall back a double; move forward. Ones half figure eight up — Twos turn single up; right-hand turn half-way. B2: Ones step right and honour partner; cross left [Home] // Twos half figure eight up. Ones step left and honour; separate and go down outside twos to next ones' place // Twos half figure eight down. [First progression] Twos becoming neutral instantly change to ones — you don't do the step and honours. You are already on the correct side, but make each “Down a double” small and the fall back as normal. Ones becoming neutral wait while the existing ones do their first down a double and back. As they do the second, two-hand turn half-way to become proper, face down and fall back. A1: Ones down a double and back // Twos step right and honour partner; cross left. Ones down a double and back // Twos separate and go up above these ones to next twos' place. You don't want to do this dance! You want Ted meets Pachelbel further down the page. Carol Hewson commissioned me to write a dance to Pachelbel's Canon, and originally specified that she wanted the dance to be in canon, just as the tune is. I soon realised that there were only two possible ways to do this in longways duple minor format. Either you have the first corners working together and the second corners working together, or you have the ones working together and the twos working together. Since Pat Shaw had already used the first approach very successfully in “John Talliss's Canon”, I decided on the second approach. I tried this with good dancers, and it was complete chaos. Trevor Monson gave me a couple of useful hints about simplifying things, but I tried it a second time with good dancers and again it fell apart — so I gave up. You're welcome to try it out, and please let me know how you got on, but don't ask me to call it again! Saint Louis Saint Louis: Music in PDF, MIDI and ABC formatPrint this dance Format: Longways duple minor. Dance and Music: Colin Hume, 2007. A1: All lead up three steps and fall back; ones cross and cast, twos lead up. All fall back with neighbour three steps, lead forward; ones two-hand turn (6 steps). A2: Same but with twos active — all finish improper. B1: 1M 2L (in second corner positions) cross (3 steps), other corners cross; circle left half-way. Three-quarters of a double figure eight — ones cast and twos cross up to start — finishing with twos above, improper, facing out, ones below, proper, facing in. B2: Ones come up the centre into a symmetrical gipsy with neighbour 1¼ and twos keep turning to form a line facing up: from left, 2L, 1M, 1L, 2M (6 steps); lead up three steps and fall back. Twos gate the ones up and round to progressed place (6 steps); twos Hole-in-the-Wall cross while ones turn single downwards (6 steps). Written in January 2007 while I was staying with John Ramsay and Berni Meyer, and first danced that evening at a rehearsal of their performance group Dance Discovery with the music played by their band Tu'penny Uprights. On that occasion I did not have the lead up and back in B2, and there seemed to be too much music, so I've since added it. That makes the gipsy quite tight — six steps to go round one and a quarter — so get in close! Dedicated to John, Berni and all the people who looked after me and the groups I called for: in addition to a workshop for Dance Discovery (for which I also played piano) I called an English Ball for St Louis English Country Dancers and a contra dance for Childgrove Country Dancers. Pronunciation note for dancers in England: Saint Louis was founded by the French, and no doubt pronounced “Sa' Loo-EE”. In England we would say “S'nt LOO-ee”, but in the States it's “SAINT Lewis” with the accent firmly on the first word. Salute to Southam Salute to Southam: Music in PDF, MIDI and ABC formatJack's Maggot: Music in PDF, MIDI and ABC formatPrint this dance Format: Longways duple minor. Dance and Music: Colin Hume, 2002. You can also use “Jack's Maggot”. A1: First man half a hey with the ladies. First man and second lady right-hand turn: the man ends home and the ladies end progressed. A2: Second man half a hey with the ladies. Twos left-hand turn: all end home. [All danced with a skip-change step.] B1: First corners cross; all single file one place clockwise (to progressed place). Back-to-back partner. B2: Second corners (now in first corners' place) cross; single file one place (home). Dance three changes of a circular hey with hands. In A1 and A2 the man needs to come out of the hey wide, or he will give the wrong hand to the lady. The B part is all simple moves, but not necessarily in the order which the dancers expect! First danced at the Southam Festival, August 2002. This was started by Wendy Crouch (later Wendy Knight) and was an immediate success; everybody knew that with Wendy in charge it would be well organised. The organisation was passed on to Gill Swash and Chris Bower in 2002 and they have done an equally great job. New organisers took over in 2009 and they have kept the successful formula already established — they keep booking me so I'm not complaining! If you're looking for a three-day dancers' festival over the August Bank Holiday, Southam in Warwickshire is the place to be — but it's invitation only! Spring Blossom Spring Blossom: Music in PDF, MIDI and ABC formatSpring Blossom: Tune and piano: Music in PDF, MIDI and ABC formatSpring Blossom counter-melodies: Music in PDF, MIDI and ABC formatPrint this danceRecordings Format: Longways duple minor improper. Dance and Music: Colin Hume, 2008. Dance rewritten 2010. A: Ones cross and cast; twos wait and then lead up. Ones two-hand turn all the way while twos set to partner and then cast, finishing in a line of four facing up with the ones in the middle. B: Up a double and back. Twos gate the ones up and round into progressed place proper. C: Double figure eight: twos cast, ones cross up to start. D: Left-hand star. Ones half figure eight up (man hand the lady up into it, left hand in left). I wanted a straightforward dance for the title track of the Dampier's Round CD, but I failed completely, so a couple of years later I came up with the above which I hope is the final version. Trevor Monson and Robert Moir still prefer the version below, because it's different from other dances, and of course I'm happy for people to call that if they prefer it. I'm giving the above version the generic name “Spring Blossom”, or if you want to be specific you can call it “Late Spring Blossom”. Here's the version which was on the website until April 2010, now known as “Early Spring Blossom”. Format: Longways duple minor — Double progression. Dance and Music: Colin Hume, 2008. A: Ones cross (I suggest left shoulder) and cast; twos wait and then lead up. Ones two-hand turn all the way while twos do a wide cast, finishing in a line of four facing up with the ones in the middle. B: Up a double and back. Twos gate the ones up and round into progressed place improper. C: Ones pass partner left shoulder to start a diagonal hey for four (second change is same sex person right shoulder, first man up to original second man, first lady down to new second lady) — ones are working with their partner, twos are not. D: Ones left-hand turn to your own side; first man cross left shoulder with the new second lady. In these new fours, left-hand star ¾ to progressed place, ones ready to cross left shoulder and dance with a new couple — this is a double progression dance. I thought this was simple, but you're reading version seven of the second half of the dance — you should have seen version 1 where the ones do a diagonal hey while the twos do a straight hey! I suggest that after you teach the gates movement you ask the ones to move forward so that they are left shoulder to left, and then face diagonally right, so that it's clear who is in the diagonal reel of four. At the bottom of the set (unless you started with a neutral couple) it will be a reel of three, with the first lady looping left to do the next change left shoulder with partner, though if this confuses people they can just stand still. The top lady does nothing. It may be worth pointing out that in A and B the ones are working with their original twos, in C they are working with the original second man and the new second lady (who have each other as a shadow) and in D they are working with their new twos, before moving on to yet another second couple at the start of the next turn of the dance. Tango in Toronto Tango in Toronto: Music in PDF, MIDI and ABC formatPrint this danceRecordings Format: Longways duple. Dance and Music: Colin Hume, 2010 A1: (16 bars) First man advance, second lady retreat; reverse. Gipsy left, give a meaningful look then spin round to the right. Right-hand star, transferring the hand-hold to your partner at the end. Right-hand turn partner half-way; turn single left. A2: First lady advance, second man retreat; reverse. Gipsy right, give a meaningful look then spin round to the left. Left-hand star. Left-hand turn partner half-way; turn single right. B: First corners pass right shoulder: half a straight hey (and I mean straight across, not on the diagonal). First corners gipsy right to face same-sex neighbour while the others do a slow loop to their left. Pass neighbour left shoulder: half a straight hey to finish in progressed positions. Single file clockwise. People have real trouble getting into the first hey and getting out of the second hey, neither of which does what you expect. At the start the first corners are walking almost straight ahead for the first two changes, passing each other right shoulder and then their partners left shoulder. It might help in the walk-through for the second corners to take a step back and left. It might even be better to describe it as three changes of a hey starting left shoulder with partner. At the end the second corners do only two changes, then move out to their progressed position and turn to their right as the first corners pass right shoulder into their progressed position and also turn to their right to follow their same-sex neighbour into the single-file circle (which needs to be tight). The second corners are following their partner. It might help to get the dancers into their progressed positions (facing the right way) before starting the heys, so that they know where they are aiming for. Trust me — it does work! If you're teaching the dance I suggest you demonstrate it as a second corner, so you can show that you finish the hey in your progressed place, turn right and start moving in the single-file without getting in the way of the first corners who have yet to pass right shoulder with each other and then turn right to follow their same-sex neighbour. You may find that they can't cope with passing right shoulder with each other, being too desperate to follow their neighbour; it depends how fussy you want to be. But some time after writing the dance I had an e-mail from Jean Causey in Seattle who said: Tango in Toronto is a special dance. Great fun. Great music. Great concept. Great A part. But it doesn't get on programs because the B part requires special teaching, and then dances muddled anyhow. I know that the B part works. I respect its design. But in the real world, the difference between “works-technically” and “succeeds” is limiting usage of the dance. So I tampered with the B. There are some mighty fine dances just sitting on the shelf because they turned out to be “workshop” dances. Seems to me that it would be reasonable in this case for the dance to retain its original form for special occasions, and also to have an “everyday” variant, so long as that variant does not subvert the essential core of the original. When I first heard that someone had called the dance at Mendocino a week after I had introduced it and had changed the ending, I thought “What a nerve! If they're calling my dance, they call it the way I wrote it!”. But I take Jean's point — you can see on the video how much trouble I had teaching it — so here's her modification which you're welcome to call — though I still prefer the original. Another modification, used at the Baltimore Playford Ball in 2014 which is held in a narrow hall, is to change the final single file circle to a gipsy right with partner. This would also help if people are late finishing the hey! In 2014, Gene Murrow told me he had taught the dance successfully to a floor full of contra dancers at English-American week at Pinewoods. He says: Before teaching the hey, I have everyone switch with neighbor and face for the single file circle. I say “this is where you're heading.” As I was about to teach the hey, I muttered something like, “and now comes a hey for 4 with a boomering turn-about for the first corners in the middle, which goes like this… ending in the circle we made just now.” Well, before I could “teach” it, they had already done it! I realized that by keeping it very simple, people get it. It's simply a “hey for 4 across the dance, first corners start by passing R shoulder…” Just as you wrote in your original directions!! I and others got confused by trying to analyze it (or by watching that hilarious YouTube video of you in Toronto :-) . So there it is. I've shared my “contra secret” with other callers in the States, and they agree it has helped them present this terrific dance. B: First corners pass right shoulder: a complete straight hey. First corners do one extra change to meet partner, gipsy left with partner just over once around (to finish on the side of the set), then first corners lead partner into a single file clockwise ¼ to progressed places. Karen Millyard and Bridget WhiteheadFor Karen Millyard and Bridget Whitehead, two of the organisers of the English Country Dance Conference and Dance Weekend in Toronto in 2010. They both worked themselves to exhaustion to produce two successful events. They are also both keen on Argentine Tango, so I decided to write a tango-style English Country Dance. I was staying in the apartment of Karen's grandmother who had been a concert pianist, and wrote the tune at her beautiful grand piano: I know Argentine Tango does not use the stylised rhythm of ballroom tango, but I wanted something which ordinary dancers would recognise as a tango. The band was Foxfire — Daron Douglas and Karen Axelrod — and I had heard them playing tangos at Brasstown in 2008 so I knew they would make a great job of it. People responded enthusiastically in Toronto, and asked for it to be repeated in the final dance, though Fae Fuerst who danced it both times said: At the moment I think passing right shoulders to start the tango hey is a choreographic blunder, not the kind of awkward iconoclasm we'll get used to. Here's a video of the first attempt, in 5 parts (opens in new tabs): Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 Part 4 Part 5 Ted meets Pachelbel Pachelbel's Canon: Music in PDF, MIDI and ABC formatTed meets Pachelbel: Music in PDF, MIDI and ABC formatPrint this dance Format: Longways duple. Dance: Colin Hume, 2002. Music: Pachelbel or Colin Hume A1: Ones lead down a double; turn in and lead back. Ones quick cast and cross while twos lead up a double and fall back. A2: Lead up in a line of four (ones on the ends); two-hand turn neighbour (4 bars, across the musical phrase); lead down a double. B1: Wheel around with neighbour (men going backwards) to face up; ladies move up while men turn single right ¾. All single file clockwise ¾ to finish improper (second lady and first man at the top). B2: Ones two-hand turn half-way, first man pick up the second lady and circle left half-way, first man pick up the second man and all circle left to progressed places, acknowledge the other couple before leaving them. [The turn and the first circle don't take very long, so take your time on the final circle to use the music up, and acknowledge the other couple before starting the next turn of the dance.] Ted HewsonJohann PachelbelThe dance can be done to “Pachelbel's Canon” — it will run seven times through. Musicians will need to add a two-note introduction, as the dancers start moving on the first beat of Pachelbel's music, so the first A1 is danced to the eight slow chords and the first melody instrument comes in as the dancers start A2. In case you don't have a recording or a band willing and able to play this, I have also provided my own tune. Please note that Pachelbel's tune as written has four beats to the bar whereas mine has two. This means that with Pachelbel's tune each paragraph is only four bars, and a semicolon marks a one-bar phrase. I think about 168 beats per minute would be a good speed. If you use the first link above you'll see I've rewritten Pachelbel's tune with two beats to the bar. Written for Ted Hewson and commissioned by his wife Carol for his 65th birthday in 2002 — I called it for them a few days after Ted's birthday at the Weekend Whirligig in New York State, with Bare Necessities playing the music. It was also danced at the Washington DC Ball in Autumn 2004, and caused people some problems! But not nearly as many as would have been caused by my original dance to Pachelbel's Canon! Three Weddings Three Weddings: Music in PDF, MIDI and ABC formatPrint this danceRecordings Format: Longways duple. Dance and Music: Colin Hume, 2007 A1: First corners right-hand turn 1¼, keep hold, and give left to partner in diagonal wave. Set in the wave; left-hand turn partner half-way so that second corners face each other. A2: Second corners pass right shoulder: diagonal hey for four so that they again end facing each other. B1: Second corners right-hand turn about ¾ to a long wave (of second corners) down the centre facing partner; all set. Second corners push: half poussette with partner to finish progressed and improper. B2: First corners right-hand turn about ½ to a long wave (of first corners) facing neighbour; all set. Second corners cast right shoulder, first corners follow neighbour: single-file ¾ to progressed place — first corners turn right to face partner at the end of the figure. Terri Akin and John McClureI was staying with Terri Akin and her fiancé John McClure in April 2007 and they told me they would be having three weddings later in the year — an official ceremony in Oregon where John was living, a celebration (with a dance) in California where Terri was living, and another celebration in Scotland where they would be on one of Ken McFarland's dance tours. This sounded like a good title for a dance. Terri prefers English and John prefers contra, so this is an English dance with contra tendencies. Terri told me about a contra she liked which had turns into waves in different directions, and I've tried to put in some of that. Tim on the March Print this dance Format: Longways duple improper. Dance: Carol Hewson, 2002. Music: Judi Morningstar. A1: Right-hand star half-way, then left-hand turn new neighbour all the way (in only 4 steps). Original fours right-hand star half-way, then left-hand turn previous neighbour all the way. A2: Double figure eight in original fours: ones cross down, twos move up the outside to start. [Home] B1: Ladies cross; men cross. Circle left half-way; ones cast, twos lead up. B2: Ones lead up and cast. Twos lead down and cast up. Don't change sides as soon as you're out at the end — wait until the double figure eight. Written for Watendone Folk Dance Club's 40th Birthday Party. The music is a great tune — “March of St. Timothy”, published in the book “Legacy” published by the Country Dance and Song Society and also in “The Portland Collection”. The A1 section is very quick — you need to face out of the star and give some weight in the turns, and be ready to move straight into the double figure eight. A Trip to Morland A Trip to Morland: Music in PDF, MIDI and ABC formatPrint this danceRecordings Dance and Music: Colin Hume, 1986. The tune is in three-time. Format: Longways triple minor. A1: Circle six left half-way (6 steps); take hands along the length of the set, fall back (3 steps), come forward (3 steps). Back to back partner; two-hand turn half-way, fall back. A2: Top man bottom lady two-hand turn half-way and fall back into each other's place (6 steps); top lady bottom man the same. Middles two-hand turn half-way (3 steps) and face down, bottom couple cast up into two stars (men left-hand, ladies right-hand) which go once around (9 steps). B: Ones lead down, followed by threes and twos as they meet their partner at the top (9 steps), cast up from the bottom and lead back up (9 steps), ones cast to middle position (6 steps). (All improper, order 3, 1, 2.) C: All right-hand turn on the right diagonal (taking in those in the next minor set but ignoring any neutrals — 6 steps); left-hand turn on the left diagonal (6 steps). Circle six to the right half-way; take hands along the length of the set, fall back (3 steps), come forward (3 steps). Unless there is plenty of room, have just the ones turning on the diagonals, i.e. keep within the minor set. This also avoids confusion about who is involved in the circle right. Written for the first Morland Folk Dance Week, August 1986, in the Eden Valley, Cumbria, with Cumbrian Gap. Ian Jones and I shared the calling. This was a mixed blessing — and not just because Ian insults me as much as I insult him. I find it quite an effort to call a dance like Pat Shaw's “Clarance House”, so it came as a shock to find that Ian could do this while leading the band. However, I'm reliably informed that he takes his accordion off when calling some of my dances! Cumbrian Gap are also the only Band I know who will happily split in half and play for two different workshops. The Morland Folk Dance Week continues to play to packed houses, and I've been asked back every year so far…. My thanks to the Joneses of Cumbrian Gap: Ian, Margaret, David and Jenny, plus good old Jack on the drums, for making the weeks such a pleasure for me and everyone else. --start colin 3couple dances-- Dunant House Waltz Dunant House Waltz: Music in PDF, MIDI and ABC formatPrint this danceRecordings Format: 3 couples longways, Twos Improper. Dance: Colin Hume, Music: Roger Davidson, 1991 A1: Middle couple set right and left; cast right shoulder round one person. Half reels of three across the set, middles passing left shoulder with that person's partner. A2: Middle couple set to each other (facing up and down); cast right shoulder round the same person (all now in partner's place). Half reels of three up and down the set, middles passing left shoulder with the person at the other end. B: [1-4] Middles out to your right, circle left with this couple and let go with your left hand to break to lines of three up and down (2nd man at the top on the men's side with 1st lady and 1st man below him). [5-8] All back-to-back with opposite (new partner). A3: Circle 6 left and right. Men are now 2, 3, 1; ladies are 3, 1, 2. Repeat the dance twice more, with a new partner each time. If you'd like to lead the figure with your original partner, first and third men need to switch places before the dance starts. It's pronounced Doo-NANT, with the emphasis on the second syllable, not DUNNant as some people think. Henri Dunant was a Frenchman, so he would have pronounced it Doo-NON, but the house is in the Netherlands. See the section on Composing Dances for the full story of how it came to be written. The Grandparents' Waltz The Grandparents' Waltz: Music in PDF, MIDI and ABC formatPrint this dance Format: 3 couples longways. Dance and Music: Colin Hume, 2003 A1: (16 bars): Ones right-hand turn, cast to middle place (twos lead up) and pass each other left shoulder to face first corner (7 bars). Step right (1 bar) and… Honour, step left and honour, turn single left ¾ to finish improper in middle place. Left-hand turn partner a little more than once around to finish in the middle of the set facing second corners (the man facing diagonally up to the top lady, the lady facing diagonally down to the bottom man). A2: Pass second corners right shoulder: half a diagonal reel, then as the ones pass each other left shoulder they veer left to face first corner (the other opposite-sex person). Three changes of a diagonal reel starting right shoulder, to finish with the corners in each other's places, the first man at the bottom between the twos and the first lady at the top between the threes (3 bars). Ones step right (1 bar) and… Honour, step left and honour, turn single left ¾ and… Loop left shoulder round right-hand same-sex neighbour to middle place: 3, 1, 2 all improper facing partner (3 bars). Ones cross left and turn left while the others turn single left ¾ (1 bar). B1: (16 bars): All single file anti-clockwise half-way to 2,1 improper, 3. Lines of three fall back a double; lead forward. Middles (ones) move out to your own right and circle left with this couple, then the ones break with your left hand and draw the line up or down (5 bars). All pass through with opposite and stay facing out (2 bars). Turn single left ¾ (1 bar). B2: All single file clockwise half-way to 3L 1M, 3M 2L,1L 2M. Lines of three fall back a double; lead forward. Middles (2nd lady and 3rd man) move out to your own right and circle left with these two people, then the leaders break with your left hand and draw the line up or down (5 bars). Ones in middle place two-hand turn half-way to your own side and fall back (3 bars). Reverse progression. Written for Malcolm and Barbara Shaffer on the arrival of their second grandchild. I knew I'd got the music right the first time Barbara heard it, when she came up to me and said: “That's gorgeous. What is it? It sounds Jewish”. The turn single left ¾ needs to be energetic — it's only one bar (three steps). People have great difficulty with the timing of this dance. There are six places where the musical phrase starts on bar 8 rather than bar 1, and each time there is a rising or falling three-note sequence for the step and honour or the turn single left three-quarters. But people tend to think in 8-bar phrases rather than actually listening to the musical phrase. I wrote the tune first, and usually I'm careful not to write a three-beat upbeat. I've had arguments with Andrew Shaw about “Sally in out Alley”, for instance — he thinks people should start to move on the upbeat bar and I think they should wait until bar 1 proper. But having written this tune, I had to write a dance which would fit it, which meant putting in movements which start at odd places and on the left foot (though Barbara says mentioning the feet only confuses people). Barbara and Malcolm also said, “the half diagonal heys are one continuous flowing move, which should lead directly into the second honours and the cast to 2nd place improper. Again the ones crossing just flows from the cast and it is difficult to get the other dancers to time their turn single in order to flow into circle anti-clockwise half-way.” I would say that if they're listening for the rising three notes at the start of the musical phrase they should be able to do it. It should be a case of the music telling you! Their conclusion was, “In short, the whole dance just flows for the first couple, but you need the others to be aware of the importance of their timing. Good dancers should very quickly be able to dance it without a call, because it is a dance that rewards a bit of effort to learn it.” I hope they're right. Laura and Filon Laura and Filon: Music in PDF, MIDI and ABC formatPrint this dance Format: 3 couples longways, twos improper. Dance: Colin Hume, 2003. Music: Traditional Polish Folk Song (waltz) A: Twos face up: half a Grimstock hey (12 steps, finishing 3, 2, 1). At the bottom: ladies cross (second and first ladies, on the diagonal); men cross (all right shoulder). B1: Tops (threes) cross down through the middles and go down the outside to the bottom, the others moving up. All circle left 4 places, to finish opposite your shadow. B2: The same (led by the same third man, this time with the second lady). The same, to finish opposite your partner. Standard progression. I've loved this tune for years — long before I met my Polish wife Renata. My father travelled abroad a lot on business, and he brought back recordings of music from many countries, including an LP of Polish Folk Music. I'd been meaning to write a dance to this tune for some years, and while I was staying with Susan Murrow in the States I had a go. I wanted B1 and B2 to have the same moves, since they're the same music, and I had an idea of a three-couple set with the middles improper circling four places round. Unfortunately I had started the A part with moves which made this totally impossible, so I struggled with it for a couple of hours and eventually gave up. Back in England I scrapped the A part and wrote the dance in about five minutes! A Grimstock hey is what they call in the States a mirror hey (because they don't know the dance Grimstock) and in Scottish reflection reels. I could argue that a morris hey is also a mirror hey. On the other hand, Americans could argue that there are three different heys in Grimstock! Lucy Lucy: Music in PDF, MIDI and ABC formatPrint this dance Dance and Music: Colin Hume, 2006.

Lead to the bottom, acknowledging each couple as you pass them (threes move up). All two-hand turn. LucyFor Lucy Ward, who has known me all her life. First danced at the ceilidh following her wedding to Alex Dickson, 4th August 2007, with music from Folkus Pocus. Lucy had trouble with the Star Through because she needed one hand to hold up the train of her wedding dress! I've only called it the once, so it's possible I will change something. “Star Through”: Man let go with left hand; lady let go with right hand. (In this dance it's easier to describe it as “Let go with your outside hand”.) Raise your joined hands and both move forward, the lady going under the arch, to finish in each other's places standing side-by-side. Star Through is not only a change position move but a change direction move. The New Man Castle Church Jig: Music in PDF, MIDI and ABC formatPrint this danceRecordings Dance: Colin Hume.

A2: They lead away (go round a couple from the next set), wheel around and lead back, while the bottom man (the New Man of the title) seizes his chance to swing the top lady, and they lead up and wheel around. B1: Circle left (slip). Circle right, making sure the New Man and his current partner finish at the top. B2: Grand chain all the way round. C1: Promenade with the same person, and when the new man and his lady reach the bottom they promenade up the middle followed by the others, back into a longways set. C2: Top couple long cast to middle place. Half figure eight down through the bottom couple to finish improper, ready for the next turn of the dance. Progressed position is 2M+3L, 1L+3M, 1M+2L. Written for the wedding of Sian Morgan and Peter Gillam (with Chris Dewhurst playing the organ for the service at Castle Church, Stafford), and called by Joe Hodgson at the wedding ceilidh, 19th December 1987, with Alterations providing the music. The music appears in the Cloverleaf Collection, Book 2, along with many other excellent country dance tunes composed by Chris Dewhurst.

Four diagonally backwards left (into one long line); four diagonally backwards right. B2: Circle left half-way. All cross-hand swing, finishing on original side. Progressed position is 3, 1, 2. I was lying in my tent at a Folk Camp at Northbourne in Kent when Barbara Bradford walked past and challenged me to write a hornpipe dance called “Northbourne Hop” — because of the association between Kent and hops. I wrote this dance in four minutes — my record so far! The Retiring Librarian Print this dance Dance: Geoff Todd, 1994. Format: Three couples circle. Music: 32 bar jigs A1: Circle left. Circle right. A2: Ladies right-hand star. Left-hand star. B1: Do-si-do corner. Swing (new partner). B2: Promenade anywhere, and find two more couples. I suggest that the first time you swing your original partner, and the last time you finish with a basket of 6. Most people eventually realise that you don't actually need three couples — but let them find this out for themselves! Geoff Todd gave up calling some years ago — he said he was getting rusty and it was becoming a chore. His dance “Left, Right and Centre” won the Beckenham and Croydon Dance Club's “Dance Search” Competition in 1986 and appears in the Dance Search book. This one was written in 1994 for Sheila Mainwearing on her retirement as a librarian. Sheila says it's not so much a retirement as having time to do the things she's really interested in, such as the excellent job she used to do booking (and looking after) bands and callers for Sidmouth Festival. Anyone who knows Sheila will tell you that she's not the least bit retiring! Six and Sixpenny Rant Print this dance Dance: Manchester University Dance Group, c. 1970. Format: 3 couples longways.

A1: Middle couple stand still to act as posts, ends give right hands: First lady and third man dance a full figure of eight through the middles while their partners dance all the way round the outside (stepping). A2: Ends give left hands and do the reverse. B1: Ones lead to the bottom, the others come up the outside to invert the set. Threes (at the top) face down, make a single-hand arch and lead to the bottom, the others turn in and dance up to finish 2, 1, 3. B2: Twos dance anti-clockwise all the way round the outside while the others dance anti-clockwise one and a half times round each other to finish 2, 3, 1. Norman and Denise Bearon have provided the following background information: The dance is based on Sussex Bonny Breastknot and was composed by small group of us whilst at university one evening after going back to someone's flat because we were not prepared to pay 6s 6d to get into the local dance (poor students as we were!) One of the group (a Mr. Peter Fox) then went and published it in English Dance and Song magazine under this name. At the time we were very upset with him over this because (a) he had not consulted any of us, nor credited anyone else and (b) although that title had been discussed we were concerned lest the real reason for the name became known and we did not want to upset the local District. We wanted to call it “Varsity Rant” We were at university 1968-72 and I guess the incident took place 1970 or 71. It will have been published around 1971 or 1972 I expect. Tamar Rant Print this dance Dance: Maurice Dart. Date unknown. Format: 3 couples longways. Music: 3 x 32-bar rants. A1: Ones cross diagonally down through the set, pass between the 2nd and 3rd person of the opposite sex and dance a figure of eight around these two people back to the top. A2: Mirror heys (Ones still improper) and one extra change to bring ones to middle place. B1: Man up, lady down: right-hand star with this couple. Ones cross over, left-hand star with the other couple, again finish improper. B2: Ones half figure eight up through the twos. Ones and threes swing and change (just half-way) to progress. Repeat the whole dance twice more. Rant step except in the stars. Use plenty of space. First published in English Dance and Song, Summer 1991. By then Maurice Dart had lived in Devon and Cornwall for 59 years, and danced there for 39 of them. He named this dance after the one common factor — the River Tamar. Whitby Town Print this dance Dance: Elaine Beckingham. Date unknown. Music: 3 x 32 bar jigs. Format: Three couple square (twos on the right of the ones, and a gap between twos and threes). A1: Men stand behind partners (optionally with hands on lady's waist): Shetland reel (reel of three with couples acting as a unit) started by the ones and twos passing right shoulder. A2: Ones and twos do-si-do opposite. Ones and threes do-si-do opposite. B1: Twos and threes do a ladies chain (there and back) while ones wait for the ladies to cross, then lead through the other couples and cast back to place. B2: Ones and twos right and left through [half]. Ones and threes right and left through [half]. The second man must make sure he finishes the Shetland reel on his partner's left. First published in English Dance and Song, Spring 1995. Elaine Beckingham comes from Sheffield and is a well-known and popular caller in that area. At that time she had been calling for about twenty years, and writes and calls dances in various styles — Playford, American and Ceilidh. She has called with “Airs and Graces” for twelve years; she has done evenings of her own dances at Whitby Festival (where I came across her some years ago) and Sidmouth. The formation of the dance is meant to represent Whitby with the East and West piers. Her view is that a good caller must be very aware of the audience. You're there for the dancers, not to show how good you are, and you need to remember that there was a time when you didn't know what the terms meant. She's also very keen that the dance should fit the music. 3 Couples: Playford-style Barbara Walton's Delight Print this dance Dance: Irene Crew. Date unknown. Format: 3 Couples longways. Music: 3 x 32 bar reels. A1: Join hands in a circle of 6: set right only, slip left all the way (6 bars); in lines set right and left. A2: Ones and threes double figure eight round the twos: ones cast, threes cross up through the twos to start. B1: Middle man up, lady down: figure 8 through this couple. B2: At the top, right-hand star half-way; cross right with partner. At the bottom, left-hand star half-way; cross left with partner. First published in English Dance and Song, Autumn 1999. For information about Irene Crew and Barbara Walton, see The Countryman's Hat Close Harmony Close Harmony: Music in PDF, MIDI and ABC formatPrint this dance Dance and Music: Colin Hume, 2012. The tune is in 3-time. Format: 3 couples longways, Twos Improper. A: Twos cross left shoulder, loop left, round one to the middle of lines across, close together (12 steps). Lines fall back (3 steps), lead forward (3 steps); circle right half-way (6 steps) — drive the circle round. B: Twos cross right shoulder, loop right, round one to the middle of lines up and down. Lines fall back, lead forward; circle left half-way (home). C: All cross right shoulder with partner, turn right (6 steps); single file two places round the entire set, to 3L 2M, 3M 1L, 2L 1M. Back-to-back opposite (shadow), finishing well apart — ladies observe the man on your left. D: Ladies meet in the centre (R, L, R), step on the left foot and curtsey; cast right shoulder around the man on the left to finish opposite partner (12 steps); two-hand turn partner half-way (6). Standard progression. It may help to note that A is all anti-clockwise and B is all clockwise. Jenni, Dan, Victoria, Dave, Nigel, CeliaI've known Nigel and Celia Close and their daughters Victoria and Jenni for many years; Victoria says she can't remember a time when she didn't know me. They are all beautiful dancers and danced with Woodfidley, the best English Folk Dance team I have ever seen, for whom I put together several sequences of dances and wrote “The Buttercross”. I had long thought of writing a dance for them, but a dance for one man and three ladies seemed to have limited appeal. Then in 2008 Victoria married Dave Yeomans, becoming the flute and accordion duo “Deo Volente”, and in 2012 Jenni married Dan Hall, and suddenly a three-couple dance was indicated. I was planning to call it “Close Encounters”, but Fiona Birchall had already used this title for her dance for one man and three ladies dedicated to the Close family in “A Hampshire Garland”, 1998. Then I remembered that Nigel, Celia and Jenni sang in an excellent West Gallery choir called “Madding Crowd” and a better title occurred to me. First called at Eastbourne Folk Festival in May 2012 with music from Bare Necessities when only Nigel and Celia were present, but at Chippenham Folk Festival a few weeks later all six of them were on hand to demonstrate the dance. Colin's BMX Colin's BMX: Music in PDF, MIDI and ABC formatPrint this dance (well — who's heard of his big LX?)

(3 1 imp 2) This is the first tune Trevor has ever written. Keeping Thyme refused to play his F#dim chords, and Trevor admitted that he didn't understand chords at all! I have replaced them with something more feasible. He called the dance at my 60th birthday party dance (the “big LX”). According to Wikipedia, BMX (an abbreviation for bicycle motocross) is a form of cycling on bikes, generally with 20 inch wheels. It originated in California in the 1970s, where teenagers imitated their motocross heroes on their pedal bicycles. I'm happy to say that I have never owned or ridden one. The B part has a Scottish flavour and can be danced with a skip-change step provided you don't get ahead of the music! For You Shall See Print this dance Format: 3 couples longways. Dance: Dick Hosking, 1998. Music: 3 x 32 bar steady Scottish reels such as Miss Brook Reel. A1: Cross heys. A2: Hey own sides. B1: Lines forward and back.

It's a change partner dance. Written for his wife Maggie in memory of their honeymoon in 1993 near Fuschlsee. December Rose December Rose: Music in PDF, MIDI and ABC formatPrint this dance Format: 3 couples longways. Dance and Music: Colin Hume, 2003. A1: (24 bar jig): First lady quick cast to middle place, end men step forward; set in a wave. Lady up: four changes of a hey for three, finishing with ones passing left shoulder — second man move down on the last four beats, third man loop left into top place. Lady down, man up: heys for three across, lady starting right shoulder with second man, man starting right shoulder with second lady — twos and threes not with partner. Ones keep going: pass the same person right shoulder and loop right to middle place. Lead to the bottom (bottoms cast up); two-hand turn half-way. A2: First man cast up to middle place, end ladies step forward; set in a wave. Man down: four changes of a hey for three, finishing with the ones passing left shoulder — 3rd lady move up on the last four beats, second lady loop left into bottom place. Lady down, man up: heys for three across (lady starting right shoulder with 2nd man, man starting right shoulder with 3rd lady). Ones keep going: pass the same person right shoulder and loop right to middle place. Lead to the top (tops cast); two-hand turn half-way. [Order is now 1, 3, 2.] Note: All the heys and the ones' loop are danced with a skip-change step. B1: (3-time): Ones cast to middle place (6 steps); half figure eight down. All circle 6 left half-way; gipsy right with partner. B2: Ones stand still, twos and threes half double figure eight through them, tops casting and bottoms crossing up (12 steps). Ones lead to the top and acknowledge (all home); cast to the bottom as the threes lead up. Christine RobbCommissioned by Karen Millyard (on behalf of the Toronto English Country Dance Group) for Christine Robb when she got married and moved to Boston. I was told by the group and her husband Kim what she liked: complex dance, energetic, stepping, complicated or unusual heys, strong driving open circles, gipsies — and came up with this. The first part may seem rather Scottish, but the three-time second part establishes it as English — with even a hint of Pat Shaw's “Four Winds”. The other dance I wrote for Christine is Christine's Conundrum — I don't know which of the two is harder! Forsooth Print this dance Format: 3 couples longways. Dance: Francis Carter, 1991 Music: 3 x 32 bar bouncy jigs A1: Ones cross, cast below twos who lead up. Ones half figure eight up, and end facing first corners (man facing the bottom lady, lady facing the top man). A2: Those four people dance a diagonal reel (right shoulder), and the ones do the final change right shoulder to finish improper in second place. B1: Ones set; cast to the bottom as the threes lead up. Ones half figure eight up through the threes. B2: Top two couples face down: Inverted Grimstock (mirror) hey. Skip-change step throughout. The style is more Scottish than English — and why not? Written for Sue Downs. It must have done the trick — she married him a few years later! Published in Sussex Folk Harvest, 1991 — it was the winner of the competition that year. Gold for Bernice Gold for Bernice: Music in PDF, MIDI and ABC formatPrint this dance Format: 3 couples longways. Dance and Music: Colin Hume, 2007/8. A1: (10 bars): Ones cross and cast one place, twos lead up (6 steps); ones back-to-back (6 steps). Join hands in lines of three: fall back (3 steps), lead forward (3 steps). Ones to your own right (man up, lady down): half reels across with this couple (6 steps); ones to your right: half figure eight through the other couple (so the ones do an ellipse), finishing 2, 1, 3, all improper. A2: Twos the same — except that going to your right means man down, lady up — all finishing home. B1: (10 bars): At the top, first corners cross (first man, second lady) (3 steps), second corners cross; all circle left half-way. Top couple (threes) cross down into a mirror (Grimstock) hey, finishing 3, 1, 2 (12 steps). All two-hand turn (6 steps). B2: At the top, first corners cross (third man, first lady), second corners cross; all circle left half-way. Top couple (twos) cross down into a mirror hey, finishing 2, 3, 1. All two-hand turn. For Bernice and Ken Jackson on their Golden Wedding. I think this is version 7 of the dance — I struggled to get it right. Trevor Monson tried out various versions and gave useful feedback, until we arrived at this. In A1, I recommend that you walk thought the half reel, stop, then walk through the half figure eight. Now warn the ones that the ends will still be moving as they start the half figure eight, and they need to go through the other couple, turn left and go round the same-sex person to finish where they started the reel. Now walk the two moves through together. In a Grimstock hey I always recommend that the dancers take their partner's hand at the end of the set. Invisible Mending The Balloon: Music in PDF, MIDI and ABC formatPrint this dance Format: 3 couples longways. Dance: Sue Downs, 1998. Music: 3 x The Balloon (Fallibroome 6) First Figure: A1: Up a double; set away and together (men left, ladies right). Full turn single away to finish facing up; fall back a double. A2: Down a double; set away and together (men right, ladies left). Full turn single away to finish facing down; fall back a double. B1: Ends two-hand turn half-way; top two couples circle left half-way. All circle left half-way to finish 3, 1, 2 with the ones improper. B2: “Magic Hey”: Full Grimstock (mirror) hey, but ones cross on final lead up to finish proper in middle place. Second Figure: A1: Into-line siding right shoulder to right, then turn to face partner; turn single left to place. Left-shoulder back-to-back. A2: Into-line siding left shoulder to left, then turn to face partner; turn single right to place. Right-shoulder back-to-back. B1: Ends two-hand turn half-way; top two couples circle left half-way. All circle left half-way. B2: “Magic Snake”: Ladies about turn into a Shetland reel, men following partners, top two couples pass right shoulder to start — middles cross at last moment to finish proper. Third Figure: A1: Right-hand turn partner half-way; men move down a double, ladies up. Fall back; finish the right-hand turn. A2: The same left. B1: Ends two-hand turn half-way; top two couples circle left half-way. All circle left half-way. B2: “Magic Star”: Middles to own left: Right-hand star with this couple. Cross right shoulder with partner into left-hand star with this couple, and all finish proper. I'm sure you've worked out that it's called “Invisible Mending” because the active couple are improper at the end of B1 and magically become proper at the end of the figure. Janet Murphy's Delight Janet Murphy's Delight: Music in PDF, MIDI and ABC formatPrint this danceRecordings Dance: Colin Hume, Music: Jenny Jones, 1989. Each line of music is ten bars of three-time. Format: 3 couples longways A1: First lady cast, first man wait three beats and follow; twos lead up, ones finishing improper in second place. Lines fall back, come forward; set in lines. All two-hand turn partner half-way (2 bars). A2: Top two men cross, face, back away; top two ladies the same. Circle 6 left all the way (6 bars). B1: Ones cross, face, back away; cast to middle place as the twos lead up and cast out. Ones lead down through the threes and cast up to place, followed by the twos. Ones cast to middle place while twos lead up to top place (2 bars). B2: Threes cross, face, back away; cast up to middle place as the ones lead down and cast out. Threes lead up through the twos and cast to place, followed by the ones. Threes cast up to middle place while ones lead down to bottom place (2 bars). First danced at Morland Village Hall on Friday 18th August 1989. Janet Murphy is in her eighties, but is still amazingly alert and interested in everything. After doing my version of a Playford dance she's been known to say: “I've been dancing that for fifty years, but I really think your way is better.” I hope I'm as open-minded as that. Her husband Bill was a well-known folk dancer and a leading figure in the Morris revival. We displayed the dance on the final evening of the Morland Dance Week, and Janet was as taken aback as I've ever seen her! All the crossings are what some people refer to as “Hole in the Wall” crossings (which I've heard referred to as “Well-Hall” crossings in the States). John's Folly John's Folly: Music in PDF, MIDI and ABC formatPrint this danceRecordings Format: 3 couples longways. Dance and Music: Colin Hume, 2000 A1: Top two couples circle left. Pass that same neighbour right shoulder to start half a straight hey on the side. A2: Bottom two couples (twos and ones) circle right. Pass that same neighbour left shoulder to start half a straight hey (home). B1: Ones and twos take nearer hand with partner and set to neighbour; twos move up the outside as ones move down, first man rolling his partner across to change places with her. Ones and threes the same, so that the ones finish at the bottom on their own side. B2: Take hands in lines of three and fall back a double; lead forward a double. All two-hand turn. Written for John Konvalinka, who bought the dance at the Pinewoods auction during English Week 2000. John asked for a three-couple dance, smooth and flowing, which would be suitable for beginners but enjoyable by experienced dancers. My first version proved far too complicated, but I managed to simplify it and call it on the final afternoon of the camp. John suggested the title (possibly his reaction to topping the bidding for a dance and tune which hadn't even been written), and this gave me the rhythm of the first bar of the tune, its Scotch snap setting me off on a tune and dance which have something of a Scottish flavour. Jonathan's Jig Jonathan's Jig: Music in PDF, MIDI and ABC formatPrint this dance Format: 3 couples longways. Dance and Music: Colin Hume, 1998 A1: (12 bars): Middle man down, lady up: Half hey across with this couple, then actives quick right-hand turn half-way to take their partner's place in the other half of the other hey — finish with actives improper (8 bars, skip-change step). Actives cross right shoulder; loop right one place, man finishing in top place on the men's side, lady in bottom place on the ladies side while first man and third lady move right into middle place (4 bars). A2: New middles repeat, all finishing in original place. B1: (12 bars): Middles left-hand turn half-way; cross giving right hands on the right diagonal (all diagonal crosses are with same sex). Cross left hand on the left diagonal; cross right hand on the right diagonal, finishing 3, 2 improper, 1. Circle 6 left half-way, finishing 1 improper, 2, 3 improper, in lines well apart. B2: Lines forward and back. Ones cross and cast; twos lead up. Threes cross and cast up; ones lead to the bottom. Standard progression. Repeat the dance twice more. The dance and tune were bought by David Macemon and Cynthia Stenger at the auction at Mendocino English Week 1998, for their son Jonathan Macemon. They suggested the title, and since Jonathan was very young at the time I started the tune with a quote from the children's song “Here we go round the mulberry bush”. Masquerade Masquerade (3:4): Music in PDF, MIDI and ABC formatMasquerade (3:2): Music in PDF, MIDI and ABC formatPrint this danceRecordings Format: 3 couples longways. Dance and Music: Colin Hume, 2004 A1: (12 bars): Ones two-hand turn (6 steps); cast to middle. Two-hand turn first corner (shadow) ¾ to lines of three across; circle 6 left half-way. Leaders (3rd man, second lady, on the left-hand ends of the lines) tight cast left into half reels of three across, and at the end the ones keep moving into middle place. [3, 1, 2] A2: Threes at the top do the same. [2, 3, 1] B1: (12 bars): Bottom couple (ones) lead up into half figure eight through the tops, then face up, middle couple (threes) move down and face partner. Grand chain 4 hands. [3, 2 improper, 1] Middle couple (twos) lead up (the way they're facing) and cast back while end couples set and Hole-in-the-Wall cross. [3, 2, 1, all improper] B2: Top couple (threes) lead down into half figure eight through the bottom couple then face down, middle couple (twos) move up and face partner. Grand chain 4 hands (so both grand chains are in the normal direction). [3 improper, 1, 2 improper] Middle couple (ones) lead down (the way they're facing) and cast back while end couples set and Hole-in-the-Wall cross. [3, 1, 2] Written for the band “Masquerade”, and first performed with them at Broadstairs Folk Week in 2004. Masquerade is Daphne Baker on piano, Graham Knibbs on violin and Stephen Thomas on double bass. I'd already called with Daphne in England and Holland so I knew she was very good, and when she told me that she had formed a new band called “Masquerade” consisting of three classical musicians I knew I was in for something exceptional, so I wrote a tune that I would hesitate to give to many folk musicians, complete with some interesting bass notes for Stephen. They played it superbly. Some time later they played at a concert for classical musicians and included this tune to show the audience the sort of things they played for dancing, and it was the hit of the evening. No, it's not a waltz — it's slower than that. I've provided versions of the music in both 3:4 and 3:2 time. Ian Jones (accordionist with Cumbrian Gap) said, “ I have a way of playing 3/2 tunes which seems to work and comes automatically when I see that time signature. Also the more spacious appearance of 3/2 enables the players to 'feel' what you want more readily.” But Daphne Baker finds the 3:2 version a “forest of crotchets” (quarter notes) and the ties in the 3:4 version more readable. The choice is yours. I was at a workshop at Cecil Sharp House in 2006 where they were playing for Philippe Callens, and at least three people came up to me and said, “Do you know this band? I've never heard of them. Aren't they good!” So I predict that Masquerade will soon become better known. In August 2007 they released a CD of my tunes, including “Masquerade”, which is selling well and receiving general approval. Read more about Masquerade here. Modifications: November 2007: Originally at the start of B1 I had the threes waiting for two bars and then leading down, but it seems better to get them out of the way immediately — and the same for the twos in B2. Rebecca's Progress The Gradely Lass: Music in PDF, MIDI and ABC formatPrint this danceRecordings Format: 3 couples circle. Dance: Bob Lilley, 2008. Music: The Gradely Lass from Maggot Pie. The ones are the couple with their backs to the presence at the start of the dance. A1: Circle left (slip-step). Men cast left shoulder, behind partner to the next place round on the right. A2: Circle right until the ladies are home. Ladies cast right shoulder, behind current partner to the next place round on the left. B1: Ones set to (original) partner, moving forward to the centre of side lines of 3 (without hands); all clap: together, right with opposite, together, left with opposite. As they fall back, the right-hand people of each line lead the same move, setting to their original partner. B2: As they fall back, the new right-hand people lead the same move. They fall back into a circle; all clap with new partner: together, together, both. The new ones are the couple with their backs to the presence. Second figure: A1: Side right. Men cast left shoulder to meet original partner. A2: Side left. Ladies cast right shoulder to meet another new partner. B1/2: As before, led by those new ones. Third figure: Arm right, etc. A very useful tip is that although everyone does the triple clapping figure in different directions and from different positions each time, it's always with the same people in the same order. Becky LonghurstBecky CapronWritten for Rebecca Longhurst. I called this at Becky's 21st Birthday Dance in 2011 and made a complete mess of the walkthrough — I'd tried to fit the instructions onto one card, and when I wrote the card I understood it, but when I started the walkthrough I realised I didn't. Fortunately Bob was dancing with Becky in the top set and they kept putting me right; if necessary I would have danced with Becky and got Bob to do the calling. Bob Lilley is a retired trainer of silicon chips. He's been calling since 1981 and writing the odd dance (some of them odder than others) since 1986. He's a resident caller at the Linsleighders' FDC in Leighton Buzzard, Bedfordshire, and a regular guest caller at various other clubs in the area. His best-known dance is The Fast Packet. Rebecca Longhurst (Bex or Becky), comes from Bob's neighbouring village of Pitstone. Introduced to country dancing at the age of 17, she took to it like a duck to water, and she and David now dance all over the place. In 2013 they were married, so she is now Becky Capron, and the tune for this dance, arranged for organ by Chris Dewhurst, was the recessional music at the wedding service. She and David are also up-and-coming dance callers. Bex has been active in the Girl Guide movement, and the figures in “Progress” were inspired partly by the trefoil badge. The Responce St Giles's Pound: Music in PDF, MIDI and ABC formatPrint this dance Format: 3 couples longways. Dance: Francis Carter, 1995. Music: 3 x 40 bars St Giles's Pound (Fallibroome 4) A1: Ones cross right shoulder; cast to middle place. Cross right shoulder, turn left, go round one person and face first corner — man facing across to bottom lady, lady facing across to top man. A2: Reels of three across the set (pass first corner right shoulder to start), and ones continue the move to finish improper in second place. B1: Ones set; cast to the bottom (threes stand still). Half figure eight up; threes lead up to middle place. B2: Rights and lefts for six: All cross giving right hands; those in first lady's and third man's place cross giving left hands, the others cross with neighbour giving left hands. The same from new places. B2: The same from new places. All set and turn single. The dance won second prize in the Dance Search '95 competition run by the Beckenham and Croydon Folk Dance Group. It was published in CDSS News the same year, with the spelling changed from “Response” to “Responce”. The “Rights and lefts for six” figure comes from Scottish Country Dancing. Ruth Ruth: Music in PDF, MIDI and ABC formatPrint this danceRecordings Format: 3 couples longways. Dance and Music: Colin Hume, 2006 A: Ones cast (twos move up straight away); right-hand turn first corner just over half-way to a diagonal wave of four with the corners in the middle — from the top: first lady, second man, third lady, first man. Middles left-hand turn half-way; set in the wave. B: The other two people step forward to make same-sex right-hand stars and start to turn them, then the ones move up or down their own line and the others follow to finish with the men home and the ladies in the order 2, 3, 1. All back-to-back opposite (shadow). C: Ones (on a long diagonal) set to each other; cast left shoulder to middle place on own side: 2, 1, 3. Join hands and set in lines; cross right shoulder with partner and turn right. D: Circle left half-way. Two-hand turn partner. Progressed position is 3, 1, 2. Written for Ruth Allmayer, and first danced at Sigmaringen in Germany in March 2006, with music played by Folkus Pocus. RuthRuth booked me with Folkus Pocus for a similar weekend in 2004. Before that, English dancing in that region had meant Alan Davies (with a safe band), and Ruth wanted to show people that different callers put a very different slant on things. (Antony Heywood has since pointed out that he has also run courses in that area.) In addition to Playford-style I gave them American Squares and Contras, Scottish, English Traditional and some of my own dances. They coped with everything I threw at them, and of course were delighted with the music, and Dan, Caroline, Renata and I thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. When Ruth booked me for a second weekend I said to Renata “I'm going to write a dance for Ruth — should it be stately or bouncy?” “Bouncy”, she said, which was what I had already thought, so here it is. Some Playford-style bands would not be too happy with the tune, but I knew Dan and Caroline would be in their element. After she had danced it to my calling, Ruth then called it (without looking at the instructions) while I danced it — a brave woman! Ruth has called with Alan Davies for several Dance Weeks at Halsway Manor with a mixture of dancers from England and Germany. Since our first weekend in Germany she has danced at Pinewoods for two weeks (including participating in a callers course) and called at Sidmouth, and is becoming better known as a caller. In 2007 she was again booked for Sidmouth, where she called this dance (and another six of mine!), and in 2008 she was booked for Eastbourne but could not appear because of illness, so I took over her programme. She appeared in 2009 and did a really good job. Strawberries and Cream Strawberries and Cream: Music in PDF, MIDI and ABC formatPrint this danceRecordings Format: 3 couples longways.

Those who can, set on the right diagonal; cross over passing right shoulder and face in. A2: First lady third man pass your opposite left shoulder, and dance round the outside to each other's place. Those who can, set on the left diagonal; cross over passing right shoulder again, and stay facing out. B1: Lines of three lead away four steps; ends move in and circle left half-way in those threes. Lead back; cross right with new partner and turn right. [This means that one end person in each line turns the long way, but it flows much better into the reel.] B2: Reels of three on the side, the top two people on the men's side and the bottom two people on the ladies' side starting right shoulder (6 bars); middles right-hand turn half-way to own side. Progressed position is Men: 2, 3, 1; Ladies: 3, 1, 2. Repeat the dance twice more. No particular reason for the dance or title — it just seemed a sweet little tune. In fact I prefer strawberries and ice-cream, but somehow that doesn't sound right. Unrequited Love Unrequited Love: Music in PDF, MIDI and ABC formatPrint this danceRecordings Format: 3 couples longways. Dance and Music: Colin Hume, 1986 First Figure: A1: All lead up a double and back. Top couple cast to middle place, middle couple lead up to top place; bottom couple cast up to middle place, middle couple lead down to bottom place. A2: All lead down a double and back. Bottom couple cast up to middle place, middle couple lead down to bottom place; top couple cast to middle place, middle couple lead up to top place. [Home] B: Bottom two couples circle left half-way; open into a line of four facing up and fall back while top couple two-hand turn all the way. The line of four make an arch at each end and lead up, the top couple go down under one arch each, bend the line to reform the longways set. C: The same from new positions. [Home, ones and threes improper.] D: Join hands in lines and take one step back, then cross over right shoulder and turn right to face in. Circle left four places (until the middle man is at the top on his own side). E: New middle man down, lady up: right-hand star with this couple, middles finishing on original side facing new partner. All two-hand turn new partner. Second Figure: As before, but siding into line right shoulder at the start of A1 and left shoulder at the start of A2. Third Figure: As before, but arming right in A1 and left in A2. Coda: (having finished with two-hand turn original partner): Step right and honour partner; step left and honour. The dance was published by Cotswold Music in the Hunter's Moon collection in 1987, with an LP recording by Wild Thyme (later available on cassette) and is now on the Spring Blossom CD by Dampier's Round. Originally I had the top couple standing still at the start of B and C but I noticed people doing a set and turn single, and when I asked them why they said it was the only point in the whole dance where anyone stood still. I could see the force of this argument, but if the bottom two couples are circling and opening up into a line it seems more logical to me that the top couple should do a two-hand turn and open up into a line. If you do it, make sure you turn all the way — particularly in C where you start and finish the turn improper. --end colin 3couple dances-- Accord for Pinewoods Music: Tom Siess, recording on New Friends CD Dance: Gary Roodman Longways 3 couples A1 1-8 Up a double and back; S&TS A2 1-8 Down a double and back; S&TS B1 1-4 M1 lead men behind women; women wait 2 beats and move into partner's place turning R 5-8 W1 lead women behind men; men as per women above (lines inverted, proper) 9-12 Hands 6 half way, fall back if time 13-16 Turn partner 1/2 RH and TS left B2 1-8 (2 Jack's Maggot heys) W1 between M1 and M2 L shoulder, M3 between W2 and W3 L shoulder, into 9-12 Same sets of 3, RH across until W1 and M3 in middle of set 13-16 W1 and M3 pass left in middle and turn L onto end of own lines while W2 and W3 cast L moving up and M1 and M2 cast L moving down (one place) Part 2 uses Side R, S&TS, Side L, S&TS then same B Part 3 uses Arm R, S&TS, Arm L, S&TS then same B ALL THE WAY TO BECKENHAM - (long duple, contra, Colin Hume) contra dance A1 lead dwon in line of 4 (C1 inside C2?) turn individually, lead back (progress) A2 C1 1/2 fig 8 through C2 , C2 1/2 fig 8 through C1 B1 face neighbour, 3 changes of hey with hands C1 Rt arm 1/2 turn, W up, M down to turn this person (?) by Lt B2 C1 Rt arm 1/2 turn each other, W down and M up to turn this person by Lt arm C1 swing All Together, One After Another 1718 duple minor, longways Part Bars Description A1 16 1st corners mirror figure eight: go clockwise around neighbor, pass corner by left shoulder and go counter-clockwise around partner, ending in place A2 16 2nd corners mirror figure eight: go counter-clockwise around neighbor, pass corner by right in center and go clockwise around partner, ending in place B1 4 1st man cast off while 2nd man dance up 4 1st woman cast off while 2nd woman dance up 8 Two changes of rights and lefts B2 4 1st corners (in 2nd corner position) change places 4 2nd corners change places 8 Partners two-hand turn Sprigs of Laurel duple proper longways A1 Set forward to partner (1-2), Set backward from partner (3-4), Right hands across, once around (5-8) A2 Set forward to partner and back to place as in A1 (1-4), Left hands across, once around (5-8) B1 Ones down the middle, turn in, dance back, and cast around the 2's, who move up (1-8) B2 Right hand turn with partner (1-4), Left hand turn with partner (5-8) Turn of the Tide by Ron Coxall duple improper longways A Circle 4 halfway; 2-hand turn halfway with partner (1-4), 2's lead down through 1's, cast back to end above (5-8), Circle 4 halfway; 2-hand turn halfway with partner (9-12), 1's lead down through 2's, cast back to end above (13-16) B 1's lead down through 2's (1-2), 1's turn, change hands, fall back down the set (3-4), 1's lead up (5-6), 1's turn, change hands, fall back up the set to end above (7-8), Holding two hands, gents push partner away from set (9-10), Gents step left to face along the set while ladies turn 1/4 to right on the spot (“gents move”) (11), Ladies step left to face across the set while gents turn 1/4 to right on the spot (“ladies move”) (12), Gents push partner into progressed position (13-14), Two-hand turn with partner halfway and open out ready to circle with next couple (15-16) Waves of Grain by Bob Green Tune "Wheat" by Martha Edwards duple improper longways Start in long wavy lines, gents facing out A1 All set down the hall, all set up the hall (1-2), All take 2 chassé steps down the hall (3-4), All set up the hall, all set down the hall (5-6), All take 2 chassé steps up the hall (7-8) A2 Neighbor right hand turn 1 1/2 (1-4), Partner back to back (5-8) B1 1’s dolphin hey through the 2’s (lady 1 starts going around gent 2) B2 2’s dolphin hey through the 1’s (lady 2 starts going around gent 1) Notes The dolphin hey in B is similar to a shadow hey in that the active dancers (1's and then 2's) dance as a unit, one following the other, and the other dancers (2's and then 1's) treat that unit as a single person in a hey for three. It differs in that one dancer in the unit always leads from left to right, they turn in place and then the other leads from right to left. To accommodate the switch of lead dancers, the track of the hey becomes longer and narrower than a normal hey. A video of some folks doing this dance.

This is clearly a conceit created to give enough time for dialogue, particularly in the extremely long down and back. However, it is a nice looking dance, even if very difficult to phrase comfortably. Comments on the DVD suggest it took over 5 hours to shoot, on top of rehearsal, and there was a lot of editing after. It is unfortunate that the film shows practically only the head and shoulders of the protagonists -- the rest of the dancers are hard to see -- indeed they are "deleted" for the last round of the dance!

La Volta Source: Keith Wood December 2014 Notes: A new CD of Tudor music provided inspiration for this dance, with a 48 bar repeat providing scope for more interesting movements. The name of the dance comes from the translation of the tune "La Volta" – "The Turn" in Italian. 1-4 Part I: Lead up a double and fall back a double 5-8 Hands-four circle left half-way, turn single to the left 9-12 Lead down a double and fall back a double 13-16 Hands-four circle left half-way, turn single to the left 17-18 Body: 1st and 4th couples turn two-hands half-way and face in, 2nd and 3rd couples cross passing partner right shoulder 19-20 1st and 4th couples advance towards each other, 2nd and 3rd couples continue out with opposite to form a longways set across the hall 21-22 1st and 4th couples cross passing opposite right shoulder, 2nd and 3rd couples turn two-hands half-way with opposite and face in 23-24 1st and 4th couples continue out with partner to form a square set, 2nd and 3rd couples turn single 25-28 1st and 4th couples cast away from partner and bring opposite through side arches 29-32 1st and 4th couples circle hands-four once around and retire to place in the square 33-36 2nd and 3rd couples cast away from opposite and bring partner through top/bottom arches 37-40 2nd and 3rd couples circle hands-four once around and stay in the centre, forming a longways set again 41-42 1st and 4th couples turn two-hands half-way and face in, 2nd and 3rd couples cross passing partner right shoulder 43-44 1st and 4th couples advance towards each other, 2nd and 3rd couples continue out with opposite to form a longways set across the hall 45-46 1st and 4th couples cross passing opposite right shoulder, 2nd and 3rd couples turn two-hands half-way with opposite and face in 47-48 1st and 4th couples continue out with partner to form a longways set up and down the hall, 2nd and 3rd couples advance towards their partner 49-52 Part II: Side with partner 53-56 Hands-four circle left half-way, turn single to the left 57-60 Side with partner 61-64 Hands-four circle left half-way, turn single to the left 65-96 Repeat body 97-100 Part III: Arm right with partner 101-104 Hands-four circle left half-way, turn single to the left 105-108 Arm left with partner 109-112 Hands-four circle left half-way, turn single to the left 113-144 Repeat body http://davidsmukler.syracusecountrydancers.org/english-country-dances-tried-and-true/ David Smukler Caller for Contras, Squares and ECD English Country Dances (Tried and True) After the Rain **** October 2021 Four-couple longways Tune: Bluebell Knoll, by Rachel Bell A In fours: 1-4 Face across, take near hand with neighbor: set and link 5-8 Partners taking right hands, balance forward and back, and change places as in Duke of Kent’s Waltz 9-12 Repeat A 1-4: near hand with neighbor, and set and link 13-16 Circle left once round (all are in original place, improper) B 1-2 All who can, change places on the right diagonal by right hand 3-4 Similarly, change places on the left diagonal by left hand 5-8 Repeat B1 1-4 from these positions (ending in 4-3-2-1 order) 9-12 Half poussette counterclockwise as follows: begin in fours, but end couples poussette around two such that top couple ends in 3rd place and bottom couple in 2nd place 13-16 Partners 2-hand turn, ease out to line and take new neighbor’s inside hand Ends in 3-1-4-2 order. Repeat 3 times more to place. At the end of bar 8 of B, end couples can notice that one person is in motion and the other is not. To begin the poussette, the moving dancer goes forward, and their partner goes back. If you are a middle couple, you are both moving, so if you are not confident about which way is counterclockwise take your cue from the nearer end couple (with whom you trade places). Both the tune and dance were written to celebrate the return to health of Sharon Cassidy from Rochester, NY.

The tune is in 3/2 time — three steps to the bar. The title comes from a sentiment attributed to Tenzin Gyatso, the 14th Dalai Lama: “Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.” (top of page) (top of page) Distances **** December 2020 Duple minor longways Tune: Distances by Dave Wiesler, © 2020, 4 steps per bar A1 1-2 Partners “swirly” siding (starting left shoulder) 3-4 Two changes of rights and lefts 5-6 Partners 2-hand turn once around, open out to face neighbor on the side A2 1-2 Neighbors right shoulder swirly siding 3-4 Second corners change places passing left shoulders; First corners change places passing right shoulders (and turn in to face partner; first corners will go forward in the poussette) 5-6 Partners poussette clockwise 3/4 into a line facing up B1 1-2 Line-of-4 up a double and back, face partner 3-4 Half hey-for-4: partners pass right shoulder to begin, end facing down B2 1-2 Line-of-4 down a double and back; maintaining line across all face the center 3-5 Middles (original second corners) dance right shoulder around each other and out to own side. There they briefly stand pat, offering a supportive right hand to the approaching neighbor and facing up or down. As the neighbor arrives, they back up to gate their neighbor 3/4. Meanwhile…The end two (original first corners) give the middles a 4-count head start, and then dance an “?” pattern starting with a clockwise arc to cross the set and ending with a counterclockwise gate turn with their neighbor. Bars 3-5 in B2 are not difficult, but they are unusual enough that they are likely to require careful teaching. In the first two bars all get back to own line, left-file dancers facing up and right-file dancers facing down. The gate turn 3/4 happens on the last bar and leaves all progressed. Note that first and second corners have very different roles. Awareness of what others are doing will help dancers be ready when their roles change at the ends of the set.

I wrote it in 3/4 for readability, but it is not a waltz. Stronger beats come only every other bar. Using 6/4 would convey that, but it doesn’t have the feel of a typical 6/4 tune either. Typically, it would be played rubato, but for the dance it must be played with a regular beat. The pace of dancing is slow and stately. Encourage dancers to use as much space as possible and focus on matching movements to the musical phrase. The diagonal action in the A-parts followed by falling back will feel like a chevron, although it is not exactly the same. Here are some tips that might be useful: The diagonal change is always down for those starting the dance on L-file, and always up for those starting on R-file. First corners change places with current corner, but second corners change places with former corner. This gives the second corners a greater challenge. The star and circle are with the current neighbors behind them, not those with whom they just interacted. When a diagonal change sends you out of the set at either end, dance it anyway with a “ghost” to end up in the correct place for the moves that follow. Neutral couples at either end may choose to stay out of the action altogether, but one of you will have a diagonal approaching you to change places. If you are that person, you may support by participating in the two chevron-like figures. Note that those are the only figures that will need you. Your partner will have a similar opportunity at the opposite end of the set, and can be helpful now by simply standing aside, out of the way.) *In the figure-8 that begins the B-part, I prefer that ones cross up the center passing right shoulders because the flow is more natural out of the 2-hand turn. (Dancers used to traditional gender roles might not do this, but it is a tiny detail, and not important to correct.) Also, as the double half figure-8 ends, twos face in so that they naturally offer the correct hand for the gate.

Make them big, taking 3 steps for each of the four places round the circle. I have another dance to this tune (Never Better). This one is intended to be a bit more accessible.

Rachel Bell generously created a tune for me to use to write a dance for my first grandson. What a spirited welcome to Isaac Benedick Smukler Barton (born September 19, 2015)! My dance Just Born, More Later was also written for Isaac. I’ve revised this dance twice. In the summer of 2017 I changed the A-parts from “Trip to Paris” spins to the current form. Then, on February 7, 2018, I made one, small, final adjustment.

(top of page) It Is a Gallant Town *** May 2016 Triple minor longways Tune: Portsmouth (in Barnes I) A1 1-8 Crossover mirror heys-for-3 A2 1-8 Cross back and hey, ending with all on original side B1 1-4 Ones go straight across the set (passing right shoulders) and down the outside one place, as twos meet and lead up 5-8 Ones half figure eight up through the twos B2 1-4 Ones between the threes: mirror hand turns 5-8 Ones between the twos: mirror hand turns There is a triple minor version of Portsmouth in the Neal Collection that begins with a crossover hey. I created this modification, drawing on both the duple and triple versions. Later, I learned that a very similar sequence had been devised by Brooke Friendly and Chris Sackett several years before my dance. Theirs (We’ll Bed and We’ll Weed) appears in their collection Impropriety III. The only difference is in the progression (B1), and both progressions are fairly standard. The crossing over in each A part can be for the ones only as in Prince William, or (for greater challenge) all three couples can do it, each crossing in turn as they reach the top. (top of page) Hope Reclaimed **** March 2021 Three-couple longways Tune: Hope Comes in Threes by Dave Wiesler, © 2021 A1 1-4 Ones cast out, others follow them into mirror stars (left-hand star on L-file; right-hand on R-file) 5-8 As ones meet at the bottom, begin to successively “swap the stars”: each pair cross up by left shoulder to join other star with other hand As ones meet again, take partner’s near hand to lead up into . . . (others are completing the second star and will follow the ones into the next figure) A2 1-4 – Ones: lead up above top of set and a big cast down to 2nd place; – Twos: meet, lead up to the top and turn single away; and – Threes: complete second star, meet to face up, and turn single away into 3rd place (end improper in 2-3-1 order) 5-8 Partners set and turn single right B 1-3 All six, circle left halfway, into . . . 4 Cross the set (passing partner by right) and take hands in lines-of-3 facing out 5-6 Lines-of-3 lead out four steps and pause 7-8 Lines set right and left 9-12 Releasing hands, loop over right shoulder, and 2-hand turn with partner 1-1/2 to own side, end facing up Ends in 3-1-2 order. Repeat twice more to place. A1 is borrowed from a square dance figure called, “Venus and Mars” (also used by Roger Whynot in his dance T.A.G.). It should feel like a cascade. Pairs enter and leave the stars one by one in turn. The pattern feels more coherent if dancers maintain the star they’ve got until it is time to cross and join the new one. Similarly, in the first four bars of A2, pairs come out of the second star one by one. Ones need a large sweep to fill four measures with their cast to 2nd place. Twos follow them up but remain at the top with a mirror turn single. And threes turn out from the star to end back at the bottom. Each pair is doing a version of a large mirror turn single up the hall. Use space to fill the music. Note also that the result of this figure is that ones and twos have changed places. At the end of A2, the original ones (now the middle couple) can make their turn single wide, ending farther from the center to create a rounder circle. The circle goes just halfway in 9 steps. Encourage dancers to pace themselves so that they continue without stopping into the pass through. (top of page) Love’s Triumph *** DM II: 1 (1710); my interpretation May 2021 Three-couple longways (originally triple minor; final figure adapted for progression) Tune in Barnes I A1 1-2 Ones and twos meet (dance forward a double toward corner) 3-4 Turn single back to place 5-8 Same four circle left halfway, 2-hand turn partner halfway A2 1-8 Ones and threes repeat A1 (ending 2-3-1 order) B1 1-2 Ones cast up to middle place, threes leading down 3-6 Ones only, back-to-back… 7-8 …and turn single right 9-16 Ones and twos, four changes of rights and lefts, starting with partner B2 1-2 Ones right-hand turn with first corner about 3/4 3-4 Ones right-hand turn with that person’s partner about 3/4 more, ending with all on own side in 2-1-3 order 5-8 Partners all back-to-back 9-12 Ones lead up through twos and cast back to place 13-16 Ones lead down to bottom and turn single away while threes do a wide cast up into middle place Ends in 2-3-1 order. Repeat twice more to place. The ones’ path at the top of B2 is a clockwise triangle. Both turns are by right hand, and all end where they began. Love’s Triumph has already been interpreted by Bernard Bentley, Fried de Metz Herman, Philippe Callens, Colin Hume, Scott Higgs, and others. My version largely follows Colin Hume’s 2007 interpretation, because I liked how he neatly solved the problem of returning 2s and 3s to their original side, something not specified in the original directions. I chose to re-interpret Love’s Triumph because none of the authors mentioned above manage to include the final “Back to Back with your Partners,” which is clearly indicated in the original directions (see highlighting above). I accomplish this by making the two preceding turns just 4 counts each. Using right hand twice in a row makes for smooth flow despite fairly quick turns. I also note a small difference in the original directions between the two instances of back-to-back. The first reads, “Back to Back with your Partner” (singular), and the second is “…with Partners” (plural). So, in this interpretation, the first back-to-back, in B1, is for the ones only, while the second, in B2, is for all.

It was slightly altered and retitled on December 19, 2007, to fit with a Bob McQuillen tune composed for my friend and colleague, Joyce Rossbach. Bob’s original composition repeats the A and B parts, but for purposes of this dance, Joyce R’s Waltz should be played without repeats. Banjo was Joyce’s very enthusiastic canine companion when she and her husband John lived in Syracuse.

B1 Serpentine Hey, Ladies leading their Neighbour Men: 2 x [In Fours Circle Left Half Way (4) (Ladies let go Left Hand early) Two Middle Couples: Open Back Ring Half Way (4)] (Ends stand still) B2 Partner Gypsy Meltdown (16) - Finish facing a New Line in your original direction Music: Smooth reels at around 108bpm. E.g. "Charlie Mulvihil's / Gigue Du Salon". Notes: This dance was the winner of the "Dance-writing Competition" at the "May Heydays at Evesham" dance weekend in April/May 2023. The Men's Ricochet follows the same path as their Mad Robin - basically they do two Mad Robins, but meet with both hands on the second one. The ladies need to finish their Half Hey, curving to the left into the circle of four. The optional spin out of a ricochet is fun and works well in this dance to slow the men's backward momentum so that they fflow easily into the circle. The two Balance the Rings are to give time for you to work out who you are with and get ready for a nice smooth Serpentine Hey. If you are a fan of Slytherin feel free to hiss every time you balance in! The Serpentine Hey is as in Gary Roodman's Terpsicourante (but two cycles, not three). The ladies are doing a Hey, dragging their neighbour men along behind them. They do hold hands with the other pair in the Circle Lefts; they don’t hold hands with the other pair in the Back Rings. It is important for the ladies to let go early at the end of the Circle Left and curve over their left shoulder to go behind the other couple. It should be one smooth serpentine movement. When a Circle Left Half Way leaves you at the left or right end of the set, stand still Master Jacob Formation: Six couple 'Becket' set Music: 'Meester Jacob' from Oude en Nieuwe Hollantse Boerenlietjes en Contredansen, 44 bar waltz (8,8,14,14) Source: Pat Shaw Notes: Three couples in line facing three couples in line: M1a W1b W1a M1b M2a W2b W2a M2b M3a W3b W3a M3b Progression: After the first round, couples 1a and 1b will have moved to the bottom and will have changed sides, the others will have moved up one place.
