NANOTYRANNUS
3/28/2018 (but have been thinking about it for days)
longways duple minor
Dave Bartley's tune for the dance 
https://www-ssrl.slac.stanford.edu/~winston/mydances/apw/nanotyrannus.pdf
Key: Gm / Meter 4/4 (4 real beats)


Common time - 4 beats per measure

1-2: Circle L halfway, pass through across, remain facing out 
    (progressed and proper)
3:   neighbors lead out
4:  change hands, lead back


5-6: Partners RH turn 1x 
7-8: Original foursome right hand star and don't face back in

[In each couple, one person is facing out, the other is behind them.  
The ones facing out are on the 2nd diagonals]
Note this spot (progressed and proper); you'll be coming back to it

9-10: Chase [meander] around with next neighbors
     [Catch eyes with the person diagonally left from you; 
     the people facing out lead left, partner follows,
     keep it tight to to get back to this spot]


11-12: Chase [meander] around current neigbbors 
      (same people leading, catch eyes with diagonal on right, 
      leaders turn right) 
      
13-14: NEIGHBORS start two leisurely changes of rights and lefts (half turns)

15: 1st corners (people facing in after left turn) cross left shoulder 
16: 2nd corners cross right shoulder  (and face new neighbors)

------------------------------------------

Teaching points:

- End effects!  You think you're out and at bar 9 people want to chase 
  around you.  You can either participate
  in the first chase (finishes where it started!) or stay close 
  together and let the other couple around

- CL half and pass through is one unit

- Keep the chases tight, maybe do a star, then a no-hands star

- You're aiming for that progressed and improper new home spot after each chase
- When you change from 1 to 2 the lead in the chase changes; 
  it's whoever's on the second diagonal, and the lead goes
  left first and back to this spot, then right and back to this spot.  

Caller note:
 Not too fast, maybe 102bpm
 This is relentless perpetual motion; don't run it too long.
 First corners at bar 15 are both original first corners and on the first 
 diagonal.
