Me and My Shadows Variation (AKA Shadows of St. Louis) by Nicholas Rockstroh Becket Left Form:BK Figs:Cl.75,NS;LL,RDLC;GR&L3,SAL1x,GR&L2;PB&S: A1: Circle left 3/4 (8) Neighbors swing (8) A2: Long lines forward and back (8) Right diagonal ladies chain (8) (look away from the one you courtesy turned to find your partner) B1: Starting with partner, pull by right, left, right along the line (6) 3rd shadow allemande left 1x (6) Starting with 2nd shadow, pull by right, left along the line (4) B2: Partners balance and swing (16) Nicholas sez: I had the pleasure of dancing Me and My Shadows by David Kirchner at Meet Me in St. Louis a few weeks ago (called by the author, no less). It's a great dance, but it lacks a neighbor swing. This version allows for one. I swapped the order of the circle and long lines, moved the long lines to the A2, shortened the circle to make room for the neighbor swing, and replaced the left diagonal chain to across the set chain with just a right diagonal chain to set up the pull by sequence.
