PLAYING (IN) THE FIELD
4-couple square, Gary Roodman, "Prime Calculated Figures"
NIB, tune "Entree" by George F. Handel, Key: Cm, Meter: Cut Time, 88 bpm
4x (ABC), 10-bar A, 12-bar B, 10-bar C.

A 1-4: Hands eight, circle L EXACTLY halfway around
       SUPER-GYPSY (like "Bare Necessities")
  5-8: Partners liesurely gypsy almost once round AND
 9-10: Men, coming round in the gypsy, catch corner's eye, perhaps hesitate,
       then loop out in corner's partner's former palce WHILE
       women move to the center, stand back-to-back for an instant, then turn
       right back to original places.

B 1-4: INTRODUCTION TO NEW PARTNER
       Each man in turn counting CCW, starting with man now at head,
       step into the center of the set, facing current partner.  (At end,
       all four men have back to the center; women adjust so there are two
       straight lines of four crossing in the center.)

 5-12: HEYS FOR FOUR THROUGH THE CENTER
       All pass partner right

       WOMEN left hand star halfway in the middle WHILE 
       MEN loop wide right on the outside.

       All pass original opposite right

       MEN left hand star halfway in the middle WHILE
       WOMEN loop wide right on the outside

       All pass partner right (both now crossed over);

       WOMEN left-hand star halfway in the middle and stay facing the way
       the star puts you (CCW) WHILE
       MEN loop R on the outside; end facing CCW around the square,
       ready to receive the opposite person with L hand (all face CCW).

C 1-2: SQUARE LEADS        
       With this person, lead straight out along the side of the square (not
       around the circle, but to the corner of the square).

  3-4: Face this person, take two hands, WOMEN draw MEN to new positions
       halfway down the sides of the set ("heads" and "sides" have swapped).

  5-8: GRAND SQUARE (halfway)
       Current heads lead to the center, meet partner, turn 1/4 to fall back
       to the sides with partner WHILE
       Current sides fall back from each other (just push off), turn to face
       partner, and meet in head positions.

 9-10: All turn two hands halfway with partner, opening facing in with women
       on the right (per normal).

TEACHING POINTS

(1) Practice timing of gypsy and progression in A 9-10 with msic

(2) The pace in B 5-8 is deliberate without rushing - 6 passes of 8 two-beat
    bars.  Notice that the women go across the set and come back, while the 
    men go across and stay there.

(3) Orientation at end of B music: Before teaching the dance, have everyone
    change places with partner and then wheel as a couple 1/4 turn to the
    right, so that they are standing like spokes of a wheel facing ccw around 
    the square.
