POLKA DOT DIAMOND
A satisfying solo dance inspired by "Polka Dots"
32 bar lively jigs or bouncy reels, Irish polkas at manageable tempi, etc.
4x is all way through the dance.

("If I Had Maggie in the Wood" would be great.)

Fine medley - Over the Waterfall / Maggie in the Wood / Drowsy Maggie

[Dance pattern allows traveling rant step or skip change if you've picked music that supports it.]


Dancer stands where the two bars of a plus sign (+) cross over. Vertical axis is North-South,
Horizontal is West-East (as usual compass directions).  Imagine lines connecting the vertices
of the plus sign; that's a diamond shape, and those are the outside lines.  Start facing North.

A1: Full figure eight (hey for one) on North-South axis, going right shoulder around North,
    left shoulder around South.

A2: Full figure eight (hey for one) on West-East axis, going LEFT shoulder around West,
     right shoulder around East (and finish facing North).


B1:  1-2: forward a double to the North
     3-4: Swivel 45 degrees and fall back along the N-W outside line
     5-6: swivel to face in and forward a double along the W-E inside line to center
     7-8: swivel to face N, fall back along N-S inside line to S

B2:  1-2: swivel to go forward a double on the outside S-E line
     3-4: swivel to fall back to the center on the inside W-E line.
     5-8: Set and turn single, finishing facing E.

Repeat as though whichever point you were facing were North.
