Steal This Dance
By Alan Sklar
Formation: Contra, duple improper
Called by: Linda Leslie
Jigs: Blackberry Quadrille/Tappit Hen (from Nelson
Collection)
A1- Long lines forward and back
Gents allemande left 1 1/2
A2- Balance and swing partner
B1- Ladies chain across and form diamond
(see note)
Balance in a ring and spin to the right
(as in Petronella)
B2- Balance the ring and spin again
Balance the ring once more; then make
an arch with your neighbor and the
ladies twirl to the left under this arch,
gents assisting, but staying in place
At the end of the courtesy turn in B1, ladies continue
to move to the center of the set, keeping left hands
with neighbor, giving a right to partner, and facing
one another. The group now has formed a diamond.
After each spin, the diamond shape is maintained
until the last 4 counts. The last twirl is for the ladies
only in order to re-form the improper lines.
