TRAIN OF THOUGHT Erik Hoffman May 29, 1992 Improper Contra A1 Neighbors Allemande Left 1-1/2; Women pass Right shoulder to start most of a half-hey (actually, 3/8: WR, PL, MR) [End of the hey: Men pass right with eye contact, keep eye contact and curve to fall back onto side of the set next to partner. Erik recommends taking partner in LEFT hand because he enjoys drawing partner in, but dancers give you an argument, so think about it.] A2 (coming out of the Hey, form a Circle, Men backing out to put Partner in Left hand) Circle Left 3/4; Partners Swing B1 Down Hall Four in Line with a Big U-Turn (four steps down, fold line to face across, pass Thru, fold to face up - reforming line) B2 Women Allemande Right 1-1/2; Swing Neighbor Written on a train to San Diego, while thinking about the dance, "The Bluemont Reel." Note: Cool dance, but people have trouble with the Big U-Turn. (I might borrow the hey-to-circle transition sometime for an English dance.)
