From: "Ron Mackey" To: SCD news and discussion Date: Thu, 27 Jan 2005 20:53:03 -0000 Subject: Re: ESforT Anyway, herewith the final final version - LONDON 1930 - 4 p.m. by Ron Mackey (Jan 2005) or Everything Stops for Tea A Strathspey in Four Acts S32 -3c-4c 1-8 Act One - The Park Second Couple, followed by first couple, lead down the middle for three bars and they all turn to lead up on bar four. First couple cast off on reaching the top and second couple finish in first place.* 9-16 Act Two - The Teashop Foyer Ones facing down to start, all dance a Grand Chain. 17-24 Act Three - Finding One’s Table Ones dance a half figure of eight around the Threes, giving Right Hands in passing, followed by a half figure eight around the Twos, again giving Right Hands. 25-32 Act Four - The Teapots From second place, own side, Ones dance right hands across with the couple on their right. (i.e. 1M with the Threes and 1L with the Twos.) Ones pass each other by the right shoulder and dance left hands across with the couple on their left. (i.e. 1M with the Twos and 1L with the Threes.) Recommended tune "Everything Stops for Tea" * Although the original intention is for 2nd couple to dance into 1st place from the lead up, I have no objection to 2nd couple casting into 1st place if it doesn't break the flow. Happy Dancing, Ron :) Ron Mackey Mottingham, London London & Croydon Branches
