Sorry for the confusion caused by my creative "Dead Coat Bounce." I do know the
correct title, but my fingers did the walking without being actively connected
to my brain.

Dead Coat Bounce (by Nathaniel Jack) contains a ricochet hey.
Levi Jackson Rose (Bernie Chalk)
Formation: Partners in a single circle of five couples
Music: "October Rose" composed by Ruth McLain Smith
Bar Count DESCRIPTION
A 1-8 16 All allemande left with corner (thumbs up hold), allemande right
partner and, retaining partner's right hand, all balance toward partner and away
from partner
A 1-8 16 Dropping hands, all move forward (men CCW and women CW), meet at the
opposite side of the set and swing.
Complete the swing early enough so that the women can "roll" off their
partners right arm to stand behind him, men arch
B 9-16 16 Ladies go under arch made by partner's L arm, move to the left and
come out the next arch, continue left and go under the next arch, 5 ladies join
hands in the center while men bring their joined hands over the ladies heads to
form the "Rose"
B 9-16 16 Basket goes clockwise
I offer my dance from several years ago. I find that dancers enjoy it.
HUNTSVILLE'S QUEEN BEE By Jane Ewing 2002
Duple Improper
A1 Neighbor See-Saw
Neighbor Almd Left 1 ½
A2 Queen Bee Hey
B1 Ladies pull by the right
Partner Swing
B2 Ladies Chain
Left Hand Star
Queen Bee Hey: Ladies do their traditional part in a hey for 4 - start by
passing
right shoulders.As the Ladies pass the Gent(Partner) by the left shoulder
the gents
head for the middle of the set. They approach each other with palms facing
the other gent. They push off by the palms and go back to place. They will
notice that some side stepping will facilitate the move. Important point -
Gents
should try to avoid tripping Ladies! Gents will repeat this move after
their
Neighbor passes them.
I started to choreograph a dance like this a few years ago, then I found
that Seth Tepfer had already done so, and his worked better than what I had
written.... But perhaps I will revisit it....

In my high school Latin class 13 out of 16 students were left handed, and the teacher. I'm right-handed, and the only one teaching Latin today. Hmm. Nell

For eye dominance, you offer someone a piece of paper with a small hole in it and ask them to look through. Whichever eye they hold the paper up to is their dominant eye.
For ear dominance, you tell someone that there are people talking about them in the next room. You suggest they go over and put their ear against the wall to hear what is being said.
For foot dominance, you put an onject directly in front of them and ask them to kick it. Do this three times.
Fun stuff!

It's the name of a play from the '30s by Clifford Odets...
How does one find out which eye is dominant? This is has never come up in my lifetime.

Subject: [Callers] Waiting for Lefty
When this thread title came up I thought it was a new dance title, something like Waiting for Godot. Au contraire!
For the survey, I am:
~ right hand dominant
~ left eye dominant
~ probably right brain dominant
Fascinating factoid: For many years I entertained myself during long family trips and boring school days by practicing writing legibly with my left hand as well as with both hands simultaneously (LH frontwards l->r and RH backwards r->l) I just checked, and I am still reasonably good at both.

Hmmmmmm.... I wonder if the folks who pen dances are also Lefty dominant?
this would explain the preponderance of Circle Left in
modern dances ;-)
