Contra Dance

Patriot's Jig

By Ted Sannella (in Balance and Swing)

(Duple improper)

A1

(8) Swing neighbor
- This is ending mid phrase
(8) Right and left through

A2

(8) Ravens chain
(8) Right and left back

B1

(6) Aleman left your shadow
(10) Swing your partner

B2

(8) Long lines forward and back
(8) Circle left 3/4, pass through

Note: This dance is an older contra and dancers now do not expect swings to end until the end of the phrase. So when I called it at Swat I got confused and the dancers got confused, people swang until the end of the A1 and the whole dance was off. I doubt I'll call the dance again.
