Tune: Linda’s Light by Dave Wiesler, 2022
Teaching Notes:
The dance in is 4/4 and danced 4 steps per bar.
| B | 1-4: | In the hey, 1’s keep hands as if they were dancing a pousette. The hey feels very much like a figure of eight for the 1’s with measured movement. 2s can make a wide cast down into the heys and not just immediately move down the side of the dance. |
| B | 4-5: | At the end of the hey, 1s can keep inner hands briefly as they face up and cross up in the the half double figure of 8; 2s can continue their motion from the hey to cast down into the double figure of 8. |
| B | 7-10: | The 1s track down the center and back is the same as in Ron Coxall's Turn of the Tide (though in 4 not in 6). |
-Dancers should note the transition and change of direction between the two-hand turn at the end of the dance and the L-shoulder siding at the beginning of the dance.
-Neutral couples waiting out at the top should join the dance in B, 7-8 when the 1s lead down the center. Neutral couples at the bottom should be ready to join the circle in B, 11-12.
