MM (Alan Winston, July 2000)
Tune: "Young Jane" (NIB, but in the black couple dance book)
longways duple PROPER, waltz time

Play as it is in the book, no repeats (16 bar A, 16 bar B).  Play fairly 
slowly, for a dreamy feel.  (Probably best for the caller to walk out the
four changes of the half-hey to show the timing.)

A:  1 - 4:  No hands circle ("goose march") to a line in 2nd place, first
            woman breaking the circle and others following; first woman and
            2nd man turn over right shoulder to face partner and 
             (W1 M1 M2 W2)

    5 - 8:  (face partner) 
             half-hey for four, starting right shoulder with partner.  
             (W2 M2 M1 W1)

    9-12:   first woman leads the line to first place (2nd man has to turn
            to get in line), finish (W1 M1 M2 W2) with first woman and 
            second man turning over left shoulder to face partner and

   13-16:   half-hey for four, starting left shoulder with partner
               (W2 M2 M1 W1)

B:           Imagine the whole set as one big oval, traveling counterclockwise.
            (1s face up, 2s face down - each couple has the woman on the
             right.)
            
     1-2:    Open waltz (joined hands as hinges, one step per beat, swing 
             out-two-three and in-two-three)

     3-4:    cloverleaf turn single 180 in line of direction (1s up, 2s down),
             finishing facing clockwise (back the way you came); now with women
             on the left because you haven't changed sides.

     5-8:    As above, but traveling clockwise, and turning single 360, 
             FINISHING STILL FACING CLOCKWISE.  This should bring the original 
             couples abreast, facing opposite directions.

    9-12:    Couples take shoulder-waist or waist-waist hold, depending on 
             height - whatever gives a firm, comfortable connection with 
             one hand.  Men catch right hands (allemande grip or arming grip 
             recommended); star promenade 1.25 times around; men let go, and

   13-16:    Butterfly whirl to progressed, proper place, probably turning 
             1.5 and letting go to get to place.

NOTES: MM is both the initials of "Mendocino Manager" and the Roman numerals
       for 2000.  The dance is dedicated to Jane Hecht, manager of Mendocino
       English Week in that year; thus, the choice of the tune "Young Jane."
             
       It seems to be more effective to teach the B part first.  To get there,
       have 2s cross over, 1s face up, 2s face down, and everyone take two
       steps to their own right.  Dancers seem to have less trouble with the 
       "big oval" idea if they haven't bonded with the other couple yet. 
       (I am indebted to Charlie Fenton and Bill Warburton for this suggestion.)
