Round Hill Wedding        

Format: 4 couples longways, 1 and 3 improper.
Dance and Music: Colin Hume, 1997.  The tune is in waltz-time.
A:	In fours, right-hand star.  Ladies cast out, men keep turning and pull by into half a hey across (the second change is
passing partner left shoulder), ending where your same-sex opposite started - don't overshoot. 
B:	New middles (original ends) right-hand star.  Men cast out, ladies pull by into half a hey (passing partner left shoulder),
ending 2 improper, 4, 1 improper, 3. 
C:	Middles face the ends: gipsy right with neighbour.  All gipsy left with partner (plenty of time for both these moves). 
D:	On the right diagonal: those who can, cross right shoulder (same sex); on the left diagonal: those who can, cross left
shoulder.  All that again, ending 3 improper, 1, 4 improper, 2. 
Written for the wedding of Albert Blank and Nancy DeVore, September 1997.  I was dancing at Pinewoods - in Massachusetts on the
East Coast - for two weeks run by CDSS.  The Country Dance and Song Society started out as the American branch of EFDSS, but in
true American style have now become independent.  English Week was first.  Having heard what Ruth Anne Fraley had done with "Star
of David", I decided I should make some money for CDSS by putting into the auction "A dance and tune to your specification".  The
bidding was ridiculously high, and afterwards Albert and Nancy explained that they wanted a dance for their wedding, in waltz time,
celebrating the dance community which had brought them together rather than being a solo display for one couple.  The auction was
on the Wednesday evening, and on the Saturday I called the dance.  A few weeks later Gene Murrow called it at their wedding dance,
with Bare Necessities playing the music.
