THE LIGHTED SCONCE
CONTRA, duple improper
Glen Morningstar, 1984
This version from Margot Gunzanthaler's Square Dance & Contra Dance handbook

Music: "Any good New England style tune - - try "Growling Old Man and Grumbling
Old Woman" but also try a well-phrased bluegrass tune; tempo - about 120."

Calls:

Two ladies allemande right (8 counts)
And everyone swing your own (8 counts),
finish facing the other couple.

Circle left, once round (8 counts)
Twos arch, loop to a line (8 counts)
    So that's twos make an arch, ones duck under, let go of each other,
    peel off, twos keep hold of everybody and turn under the arch, end
    in line of four facing _up_, twos in the middle.

Four in line it's up you come (6 steps up, 2 steps to face back)
Turn alone, go the other way back. (6 steps down, 2 steps to bend the line)
    [Face your neighbor when you turn alone]
Bend the line and ladies chain (8 counts)
Turn and chain them back again
