Jill's Scottish Fancy by Tony Saletan TRIPLE minor; 1s improper, 2s and 3s proper A1: 1s & 2s with neighbor balance and swing (Man 1 with Woman 2, Woman 1 with Man 2). 3's are encouraged to balance and swing partner. (16) A2: Circle six left halfway (end opposite partner in lines of 3 facing across) (8). Each 1 is each now between two dancers of the opposite gender role. 1s do-si-do partner but end facing out in wavy lines of 3 along the set (8). B1: When the dance is under way, after the walkthrough (I recommend a demo of this part), here I simply use the calls "everybody balance" and "everybody move." All balance (4) 1's stay back to back and rotate as a couple clockwise to partner's position (possibilities here for back to back flirtation) WHILE their corners (2s and 3s) individually move 1 inactive place counterclockwise to take the place of the inactive who just vacated that position. (1s are still facing out, the others facing in.) (4) The caller should know, but not say, that in the new wavy lines of three, on the caller's left man 1 has left hands with man two, right hands with woman 2. On the caller's right, woman 1 has right hands with man 3, left hands with woman 3. Experienced inactives may want to turn clockwise while moving counterclockwise but I don't say that, lest newcomers get disoriented while trying to imitate it. Quick caller's eye check: people have left hands with same gender role. All balance and move again (8). Caller knows that everyone is now progressed and proper in their "double triangles." B2: All balance (4). Those who can (caller knows it's woman 1 with woman 2; man 1 with man 3) allemande left (4) until 1s can swing in the center and face down (8). The usual single-progression improper triple minor rules about the ends of the set and the alternating roles of 2s and 3s apply. TONY SEZ Here's one I've used successfully, written for the birthday of my wife Jill Rosenthal, who's very fond of Scottish country dancing. The 1st B is inspired by (read "stolen from") the Scottish figure "double triangles." I've used it mostly with dancers of some experience; once it gets going it's much easier to dance than to talk or write or read about. The title implies a Scottish connection, but it's a good ol' US contra dance.
