TRAIN OF THOUGHT
Erik Hoffman    
May 29, 1992
Improper Contra

A1  Neighbors Allemande Left 1-1/2;
      Women pass Right shoulder to start most of a half-hey
      (actually, 3/8: WR, PL, MR)

[End of the hey: Men pass right with eye contact, keep eye contact and curve
to fall back onto side of the set next to partner.  Erik recommends taking
partner in LEFT hand because he enjoys drawing partner in, but dancers give
you an argument, so think about it.]


A2  (coming out of the Hey, form a Circle,
      Men backing out to put Partner in Left hand)
      Circle Left 3/4;  Partners Swing

B1  Down Hall Four in Line with a Big U-Turn
      (four steps down, fold line to face across,
      pass Thru, fold to face up - reforming line)

B2  Women Allemande Right 1-1/2;  Swing Neighbor

Written on a train to San Diego, while thinking about the dance, "The 
Bluemont Reel."

Note:

Cool dance, but people have trouble with the Big U-Turn.  (I might borrow the
hey-to-circle transition sometime for an English dance.)
