WINDOWBOX CLOVER 32-bar moderate waltz, 4x. [Waltz dance with little risk of dizziness, no set and turn single.] Alan Winston, finished 7/26/2020 Tune choices If you have live music available, choose a 32-bar waltz you like, with clear phrasing and 2-bar emphasis in the B. (Utpik Waltz played AB is a good choice.) Even within that shape, many different emotional effects are available depending on tune. For recordings, surprising how few in my collection are 4x(AB). Rodney Miller & Elvie Miller - Spyglass Waltzes ---------------------------------------------------- Home to the Valley (ends on the 5th A, beautiful, upbeat) Valentine's in Nantes (jaunty) Vivian Williams - Waltzes -------------------------- Emma (lushly romantic, spare setting, 4x) Good Neighbor waltz (really Victorian sound, 4x, right phrassing) Amarillis - Waltzing in the Trees ---------------------------------- Fair Haired Lass (steadily builds in intensity) Terpsichore - Caledonian Muse ----------------------------- Catherine's Waltz (sparkly, happy, not saccharine) solo dance, dancer in the middle of a plus-sign with the ends N, E, S, W, facing North to start. A (four leaf clover) 4 bars: Go round N by right shoulder, finish facing W 4 bars: Cast left to go round E by LEFT shoulder - easiest to finish facing SW 4 bars: Swivel enough to go round S by right shoulder, finish facing NE 4 bars: Cast L to round W LEFT shoulder, finish facing E Note that starting the clover will often but not always feel like casting; go with it. B (windowbox) [Stay facing the same direction through the entire B] 2 bars: chasse/sidestep right twice (toward S on NS line) 2 bars: single steps forward starting on foot closer to home (whatever's a comfortable distance; toward SE corner) 2 bars: chasse/sidestep left twice (N direction to E on outer line) 2 bars: single steps backward to center spot 2 bars: chasse/sidestep left twice (toward N on NS line) 2 bars: single steps forward (starting on foot closer to home) (toward NE corner) 2 bars: chasse/sidestep right twice (S direction to E on outer line) 2 bars: single-step back to center place, facing E. Note: You may enjoy adding hand/arm motion on the sidesteps. Feel free! Dance starts again with E as N. Four times through the pattern gets you home.
