MOON OVER ARCHANGEL
Alan Winston, September 13, 1998

Longways duple minor waltz time.

If contra dancers are present, make first couples improper.

Music: "Come over the Stream to Charlie" as given in the Michael Raven
       1000 English Country Dance Tunes; I think it's "Come over the Water
       to Charlie" in the Barnes Couple Dance Music book, which I can't 
       find right now.  Gentle but sprightly; pure, not schmaltzy. 
       (Feeling like solo flute.)  Watch out for speeding up!  The correct
       tempo is just fast enough that the setting has a little spring in it.


A1: 1-2: Facing diagonally in, all four set right and left, advancing.
    3-4: Right shoulder turn single explodes out, flowing into . . . 
    5-8: right hand star once round.  (Style point: keep moving from the turn
         single into the star and take hands as you go, not stopping as
         you turn.)

A2: 1-4: Star flows into circle left once round (continues same direction).
    5-8: 2s gate the 1s down and back to face each other.

B:    1: Man 1 offers right hand
      2: Woman 1 takes it in her right
      3: Woman 1 offers left
      4: Man 1 takes it in his left (resulting in crossed hand hold)
    5-8: First couple crossed-hand turn in place (as in Waterfall Waltz)
   9-16: Swing and change (that is, 1s and 2s take ballroom hold and waltz
         anticlockwise around each other 1.5 times to progressed place.
         Open up to face a new couple.


WAY MORE THAN YOU WANT TO KNOW

Title: Diana is goddess of the moon (although Selene _is_ the moon); 
       Michael is an Archangel.  Hey, it was better than "Penks and Lillies"

Symbolism: In the A, the dance starts with individuals dancing together but 
           unconnected, increases connection and community (one hand in the 
           star, two in the circle) and builds to friends bringing the first
           couple face to face.  The B is pretty obvious.
