Let's write an Xmarks dance

[starbkjrus]

Hamish's Mirror

A 32 bar strathspey for three couples

[Bars 1-4] 1st and 2nd couples dance right hands across

[Bars 5-12] 1st and 2nd couples dance diamond pousette

[Bars 13-14] 1st man and 1st lady cast off 1 place

[Bars 15-16] 1st man and 1st lady dance up taking nearer hands up 1 place (ready to cast off into mirror reels with 1st couple going out)

[Bars 17-24] Mirror reels (starting with 1st and 3rd couples going out and 2nd couple going in)

[Bars 26-28] 1st, 2nd, and 3rd couples turn both hands (2nd and 3rd couples returning to their own sides)

[Bars 29-30] 1st couple continue turning to pull back right shoulders for a half gypsy turn to own side (facing out)

[Bars 31-32] 1st couple exit out own side down to second place (or bottom of set)



Be kind folks this is the first time I have ever tried to write a dance!

At least I can read Java script.

I guess I'll keep my day job.

(Well, I HOPE I will.)

Panache,
It seems a little too complicated, although I like high level dances. I do think that there needs to be some balance in line moves.

I'll take it to the next SCD meeting as see how it dances.

[The F-H.C.A.G.]

Balance in line is all well and good, but why has everyone overlooked the obvious?!


We need....





DOUBLE TRIANGLES!





Be well,

Be well,

Yes, you're correct about that. Are you going to write it in?

[The F-H.C.A.G.]

It would be a little difficult to write double triangles into a strathspey!

I actually embarrassed my dear husband (by mentioning that he was writing a dance) at our monthly dance party last night. The fellow I was speaking with (a member of a local demonstration dance group) suggested we have our class dance the dance in experimentation. We'll see if there's time tomorrow and post the results (if available) on Tuesday.

Then, maybe, I'll write a jig (or reel) with Double Triangles!

Yes that is true, it would be difficult to write Double Triangles in. We'll dance it Thursday evening and I'll report on it.
