THE CONVENTION (music in Barnes "York Fusiliers") Cotillion, Morrison book A1&2: The changes (All round, M*, W*, GR&L, Allemande R&L, All round) Chorus: (B1) Heads set forward (twice) to each other; turn opposites round by both hands, fall back to place. (B2) Sides the same. (C1) Partners slip to far corners of square, woman passing in front. Rigadoon to the one you find there (partner's corner's partner) Turn the same one two hands once round. (C2) Partners slip past each other to near corner of square. Rigadoon to the one you find there (original corner) Turn that one two hands once round and end in contra lines up and down. This is just squishing the sides in, so it's M1 W4 M4 W3 W1 M2 W2 M3. (D1) Balance R&L twice in lines (step-swing is fun) Right hand star halfway, falling back into lines. (D2) Balance R&L twice in lines Right hand star the other half, falling back into the square.
