CONTRA-DANCE VARIATION
As a fun challenge for more experienced dancers, this dance can be done in contra-lines, (facing each other). You will need even numbers of lines and dancers. Each dancer should consider someone from the opposite row their “partner”.
Begin facing your partner, off-set so that they are diagonally to your right, with a gap directly in front of you.
For 12.00 & 6.00 walls the rows will swap positions:
1-16During counts 1-16, travel straight forward into the gap and then backwards to your original position.
17-24During counts 17-20, you should travel towards your partner on the right diagonal, passing in front of them (partner is now on left side)
During counts 21-24, you should pass behind your partner (back to back) to travel on the left diagonal. Your partner should now be behind you and the rows have swapped positions.
25-32There is no interaction on the last 8 counts - just remember to turn the jazz box to the right. You should end up facing a side wall with your partner diagonally on your right again!
For 3.00 & 9.00 walls rows will not swap positions:
1-16During counts 1-16, you will travel straight forward and then backwards to your original position, no interaction with partner.
17-24During counts 17-20, you should travel towards your partner on the right diagonal, passing in front of them (partner is now on left side)
During counts 21-24, you should pass behind your partner (back to back) to travel on the left diagonal. This time the rows do not swap position. You just zig zag around your partner and end on the same side you started.
25-32There is no interaction on the last 8 counts - just remember to turn the jazz box to the right. You should end up facing the front/back wall with your partner diagonally on your right again!
…Don't forget the Restart! (on wall 9 after 12 counts)
