THE DANCER'S DUTY Chris Page variant of an Al Olson dance ("Devil's Duty") Four-face-four Figs: L4F&B:NAR1.75:HH8:NS:CL.5:PS: A1 Lines of four forward and back [1] [2] Neighbor (person across from you) allemande right 1 & 3/4 to line of eight A2 Half hey for eight, start by pulling past that neighbor by right B1 Swing same neighbor [3] B2 Circle left 1/2 in groups of four [4] Swing partner, face next [1] Stretch out the lines of four a little to make room for everyone allemanding and swinging in the center. [2] At this point, you can tell the dancers to turn ninety degrees left. Then remember which wall they'll be facing for the end of the allemande and entry into the hey. [3] To shorten the swing length, make it a gypsy and swing. Or if you want the hey to be an exercise in timing, make it a balance and swing. [4] You face your partner coming out of the swing. There's other variants for the circle left 1/2 -- for instance balance the ring and roll away your neighbor.
