|
| NOTES |
|
| Dance should be done in contra lines, 1st line facing back , 2nd line facing front etc. so that opposite lines face each other. The "pass-through" comes on the 4 diagonal shuffles, and then the lines turn to face each other again with the last triple ½ turn at the end. At the end of the music, you will have completed the cross-rock & triple ½ turn - for a dramatic ending, both lines of dancers should then take a big jump forward and clap hands with the person directly facing them - OLE! Dance can be taught as a "normal" 2 wall with everyone starting face front before moving to contra, for ease of learning. |
