Samena Squares Lesson #6
10/24/2013
Dear Friends,
Great fun last week! Lessons and a dance Friday night! It was fun to see you all there! Pictures will be posted on the Samena Squares website soon.
Welcome back Jim and Pam! It was great to see you both!
I hope that all of you are planning to go to the First Friday Fun Fest. Many of the Samenas will be going too. The dinner plans are:
Meet at Panera’s at Thrashers Corner about 6 p.m.
When we travel to a dance as a club we usually wear the same colors so that everyone knows who we are. The colors we will be wearing Friday night are red and black. If you have something with those colors great. If not don’t worry about it. Just come and have fun!
Dates to note:
Friday, November 1, Whirlybirds First Friday Fun Fest, 7:30 – 10:30 p.m. at The Hayloft, 15320 35th Ave W, Lynnwood, Dave Harry, calling. This dance is tons of fun! This is a Samena Squares club caravan.
Have a great week! See you on Thursday!
Happy dancing,
Susan

16 c. Chain Down The Line: Starting position is a two-faced line with the girls in the center holding right hands; girls trade with the right hand (the star part); offer their left hand to the boy for a COURTESY TURN; while girls are trading boys take a step to their right to be in correct position for COURTESY TURN. CHAIN DOWN THE LINE – 8 steps.
29. Circle To Line: Starting with facing couples, in your foursome circle half way, the left hand dancer now on the outside of the circle drops hands with the girl on his left and continues to lead to his left, the other dancers unroll into a line of four. The girl on the end should walk forward to end of line under the arm of her partner. CIRCLE TO LINE – 8
43. Wheel & Deal: From lines with all four dancers facing out, the right hand couple wheels toward the center of the line to end in front of the other couple; the left hand couple wheels toward the center of the line to end behind the other couple. From two faced lines, both couples wheel toward the center of the line to end facing each other. WHEEL & DEAL – 4 steps.
44. Double Pass Thru: Couples in tandem (one behind the other), individually pass by two people. DOUBLE PASS THRU – 4 steps.
45. First Couple Go Left, Next Go Right: A directional call, first couple wheels as a couple to the left; the next couple wheels as a couple to the right to all end facing the opposite direction. Listen closely. It can be the opposite, first right, next left. FIRST COUPLE GO LEFT, NEXT GO RIGHT – 6 steps.
