West Mabou Square Dancing?
This is the best kind of dancimg there is. Completely unlike other stupid kinds of square dancing.
Oh, Glencoe! West Mabou!
I do like the way it’s completely impossible to know what’s going on from those instructions unless you already know what’s going on.
From Caile’s LiveJournal.
She’s right; here’s the first part of the square dance:
First Figure (Jig)
1. All join hands forward and back or do the Mabou Shuffle.
2. Dance with your corner partner.
You´ve just finished the first quarter of the figure.
3. All join hands forward and back or do the Mabou Shuffle.
4. Dance with your corner partner.
You´ve just finished the second quarter of the figure.
5. All join hands forward and back or do the Mabou Shuffle.
6. Dance with your corner partner.
You´ve just finished the third quarter of the figure.
7. All join hands forward and back or do the Mabou Shuffle.
8. Dance with your corner partner.
You´ve just finished the fourth quarter of the figure.
9. All join hands forward and back or do the Mabou Shuffle
– that´ll be it – that´ll be all!
a quote from the same site:
“This details the first figure of the square set, done where there are
normally MORE than 4 couples in a set and the regular patterns cannot be done.”
It’s really not so bad; great entertainment and lots of exercise all tied together with the best music in the world.
