SNOWBOUND 
(For Susan Murrow, commemorating the big storm of 1/22/2005)
As of 10/13/2015, the official tune is Debbie Jackson's "Brooklyn Yard",
about 110bpm  Key: Em Meter: 3/4


We think 90ish bpm is beautiful but ends up taking up a ton of space.
110ish is danceable at a reasonably well-attended dance.

A: 1-4: first corners right shoulder round 1.25 into 
         diagonal line across 2nd diagonals;
         take left hand with partner, right with corner
         (Line is L1 G1 L2 G2; Ladies face up, gents face down)
    5-6: all set in waltz time r&l 
    7-8: partners start about a quarter of a left hand turn, then drift out (all CCW)
         so each finishes roughly in partners home place

   9-12: second corner people at  first corner palces 
          start into the set to go LEFT shoulder round 1.25 into 
         diagonal line across 1st diagonals
         and take RIGHT hand with partner, LEFT with corner
           WHILE
         first corner people walk CCW (the way they're facing, the same way their partner
         just went) past home and CURVE
         BACK to present right hand into the  line; 
  13-14: all set in waltz time r&l
  15-16: partners turn by RIGHT hand a bit and ease out to IMPROPER place.

B: (As in A1 of "Cold and Raw", pretty much)
    1-4: 1s keeping hold of right hand, lady in the lead
         cast below lady 2 (who turns single moving up),
    5-7: 1s (still together) 1/2 figure eight around M2 (who turns  up)
      8: ALL RH or two-hand turn halfway to proper, progressed, place);
         1s may keep right hand if they like.

[some prefer this as a no-hands chase; I like the crack-the-whip effect and
the ability of the person behind to avoid collisions if hands are involved. I
am completely open to variations, swapping leads, walking backward, etc, but 
need the 1s to keep the track and timing so 2s know when to move up.]


   9-12: CCW half-poussette (current second diagonals forward)
         and finish facing same-role neighbor into
  13-16: left hand turn 1.5 with same-role neighbor, propelling first corners 
         into the next round.

         [Emphasize that this turn is a complete turn, not exiting early;
         leaves 2nd corners facing out and they have to turn around.]


Presentation tips:

Before starting walk-through, get them into the first diagonal line of four;
this makes it much easier to understand the destination.  The
second diagonal line then falls out fairly naturally. (Sometimes.)

If it doesn't, break down the A 7-8 turn.  Partners turn left for one measure
then drift, ending up in partner's home place (all improper, not progressed),
so the 2nd corners enter their shoulder round from closer to first corner place.

The more room the better.  Choose two lines rather than one crowded one.
