GIVE AND TAKE I
by Larry Jennings
Formation: Contra, duple improper
Music: Lady Anne Montgomery/Turning of the Tide/Return from Chernobyl

A1: Circle left until you are on the side of set with your neighbor
    Allemande right neighbor 1.5

A2: Hey-for-4, starting with men passing left shoulders

B1: neighbors gypsy and swing

B2: "Give and Take"
    Swing partner and look on the left diagonal for new neighbors


DAVID SMUKLER'S NOTES:

After the first time through this dance starts on the diagonal in what Larry
calls "sawtooth" formation. Linda taught the dance as duple improper and it can
just as easily be thought of as a Becket formation dance. 

Here is how to do the "Give and Take" figure in B2. End the swing in B1 facing
across in "half shoulder-waist position" (man's right arm around woman's waist,
her left hand on his right shoulder). Go forward and take your partner's free
hand in yours. Then the man draws the woman back to his side as she resists
slightly.

Larry prefers to do this figure in 4 counts and have 12 counts for the swing,
although Linda did not teach this timing explicitly and most took 4 steps
forward and 4 more to come back to the gent's line. 

Here's the dance as Larry himself notates it:
