BALANCE AND PASS MIXER
- via Martha Wild
Big Circle Mixer


A1) Balance and Swing Partner
A2) Promenade for 8, Twirl Promenade for eight. (See explanation below)
B1) Balance your partner, pass by the next,
         Balance the next, pass by the next,
B2) Balance the next, pass by the next
         Do si do the next, (this is your new partner)


The  promenade is for 8 counts in Varsovienne position, at which point the man
raises his right hand and the woman twirls beneath his hand as they continue
moving forward for another 8 counts, ending with the woman facing around the
circle in the opposite direction from the man, with their right hands still
joined. For the balances, start with your partner balance, then pull by partner
and walk past the next person you meet. Balance the next, pull by and skip one
again, repeat, then finally do-si-do the one you meet.

It's a fun and energetic dance, people usually get it quickly.
