FIDDLE TALES Cary Ravitz 1-01 via Susan Petrick Improper contra, Complex A1: 1-8: Neighbors balance and swing (16). A2: 1-4: 1s cross the set by the right, turn left, pass one person and go to the middle to form a diamond, men facing up in a new minor set, ladies facing down in their original minor set (8). 5-8: Take hands in the diamond, balance, and roll one place to the right, as in Petronella (8). B1: 1-4: Balance and roll one place to the right (8). 5-8: Ones turn alone to find your partner to swing and end facing down B2: 1-4: With new neighbors 1s split the 2s to start a mirror do-si-do (I call this as circle left 1x here instead) 5-8: 2s swing and end facing up (8). NOTES: The central figures of this dance, A2 and B1, are borrowed from Ted Sannella's Fiddleheads. You can run this as an alternating dance (as in Alternating Corners by Jim Kitch). On even cycles, after the neighbor swing, 2ss cross the set, turn left, etc. Men face down and women face up in the initial diamonds, and after the partner swings (both versions), 1s face down and 2s face up.
