KIM'S GAME by Colin Hume Formation: Double contra, 4-face-4 Music: Bouchard's/Waynesboro A1: Facing partner, long lines forward and back Swing neighbor A2: Same four circle left 3/4 Swing partner B1: Down the center in two lines-of-4, turn as couples Return, face same neighbor couple B2: Circle left (4-hands) just halfway round, insides arch ends dive through Middles pass through (as outsides California twirl to face in), ladies chain with the one you face DAVID SMUKLER SEZ: "From the genius of Colin Hume." Until B2, treat this as if it were a duple improper contra dance. It is only the last sequence that causes the two halves of the double set to interact. The progression may feel quite unusual, and some of the end effects are quite surprising. Half of the couples progress more or less normally, the others funnel back and forth across the double set. Although these dancers may not feel like they are moving, new couples keep arriving to interact with them. As usual with an improper dance, if you reach the end of the set, wait out one turn, trading places with your partner.
