"Gypsy Wine" (Polka Routine) # Measures Action 2 walk fwd LOD 4 steps in L parallel; turn 2 walk bkwd LOD 4 steps in R parallel; turn 4 repeat all of above 2 4 slides open, hands leading; turn 2 4 slides open, elbows leading; turn 2 a 360° L turn as couple, in 2 polka steps 2 a 360° L turn as couple in 4 pivots. (If mixerizing): 2 steps fwd LOD, with underarm R twirl for follower NOTES: Lise Dyckman called this at I&G 8/21/2004; confused polka-ers. She made the last four bars be all turning polka, but said the version she knew would have been two polkas, four pivots. (But this version turns it into a mixer.) My partner loved polkaing, but found the other pieces confusing; I think the secret is that this is really a one-step routine (first eight measures are standard one-step stuff). Note that this is 18 bars long; it has it's own tune, which Mary Lea (among others) has recorded.
