THE FIDDLER'S WIFE
Longways duple minor - IMPROPER (if you care)
Commission from Jon Berger, who wanted a dance he could dance with his wife
Jon has written a tune.


A1: 1-2: first corners (women) set forward to each other
    3-4: and turn single back through place INTO
    5-8: neighbors right shoulder gypsy up and down the line

A2: 1-2: second corners (men) set forward LEFT AND RIGHT to each other
    3-4: and turn single LEFT SHOULDER back to place and into
    5-8: LEFT SHOULDER gypsy with partner across the set (and keep moving)

                       INTO

B1: 1-4: single file circle TO THE RIGHT 1/2 way around.  (Make it square,
         and mark the corner clearly - six footfalls per side.)  [Sharon
         suggests Fried-esque 1-2-3 1-2-3 1-- 1--  but I really hate that; I 
         want flow.]  Leaves women facing out, partners directly behind them.  [propriety reversed]

    5-8: (half) Poussette variation:  Still facing this same way, lead
         diagonally out and sideways for two; both flip and go forward into
         place  [Everyone's now unprogressed but  relatively improper]
           Keep moving the same way into ...

B2: 1-4: Simultaneous sliding doors/mad robin - women through the middle first, 
         orbit neighbor (round left shoulder) while looking at partner; 
         go back to this place without facing your partner.

    5-8: (half) draw  Poussette variation: men in the lead this time - walk
         the poussette track, as a *DRAW* poussette, to 
         finish progressed and with your original polarity.
