ELLEN'S GREEN JIG VARIATION Chip Hedler Here's a dance based on Ellen's Green Jig that has turned out to be very nearly as successful with more action and stronger connection: Figs: CDSD:CL:PB&S:RHS:CR:DO:DC:GTHitoTC: A1: Couples ("partners welded together") do-si-do each other; all four circle LEFT (flows very nicely; could do in opposite order) A2: All balance and swing (or just the ones, if you need the twos to keep the ones oriented correctly when the swing ends) B1: Right-hand star; circle RIGHT B2: Same as Ellen's Green Jig. (Duck oyster, dive clam, go through the hole) CHIP SEZ: I describe the duck/peek through the arch as a sneak preview of both couples' final destination and have twos initiate the progression by carrying their arch over the ones, who should duck down and then step forward through the arch. Otherwise, the set migrates away from the music significantly.
