Teaching Notes

Pimentel:

This is a simple dance which works well for new dancers, and the tune is so wonderfully joyful that everyone seems to enjoy it.

B1. I like each figure to fit two bar phrases, and for all four figures to feel like one fluid movement. Though I do not often use the words “gate” and “half figure eight,” I think newer dancers begin to get the feel for those figures here without even knowing it. That is intentional.

B2. Encourage intermediate dancers to start the star L on their right foot, so the new first corners have a nice transition into the setting at the top of

triple minor longways

Daniel Dow 4/4 A major 1776 NIB · Sheet music ↗

Choreography

A

(1-4) 1s allemande R 1 ½
(5-6) 1s cast to 2^nd place

C

(1-8) Top four full R&L thru (across and back)

Background

There is a version of the tune in Barnes. Don’t use it! It has a funky rhythm and is missing the C part.

Teaching Notes

C. Contemporarily the R&L thru is danced without hands for the pull by or courtesy turn. (Historically, this is questionable.)
