Fly Around My Pretty Little Miss

As those of you who were at the hatchling party last night found out, I've tried my hand at writing a dance. Martha suggested that I post the dance here so people could comment.

First of all, thanks to the guinea pigs (er.. I mean willing volunteers) who helped me try it out. Your feedback (lots of it!) was helpful. Based on that feedback, I made some adjustments to produce this version that I think is almost ready to go.

Fly Around My Pretty Little Miss
(V0.4 Beta)
Dance: Dale Wilson (with a little help from his friends)
Song: Traditional
Improper duple contra

A1
(8) Left hands across star once around.
Gents, when you get back to your place turn out to the right to give the ladies room to continue the star.
(4) Ladies continue the star 1/2 way until you see your partner.
(4) Right hand allemande your partner 1/2 way

A2
(16) RIght hand pull by your partner sending the ladies into a full hey -- ladies pass left shoulders in the center.

B1
(8) Gypsy your partner
(8) Break down into a partner swing.

B2
(8) Right and left through with a courtesy turn
(8) Circle left three places and California twirl to new neighbors (left hand across star)

Last B2
Right and left through
Balance and swing your partner

I'll attach the version I called at the party as an comment to this post. The major change addresses a timing problem at the end of A1/start of A2. Because of the fix, the ladies start the hey rather than having the gents do it. This also means the gents don't have to start a hey while facing the wrong direction (oops.) The rest of the fixes are cosmetic -- improving the descriptions of the moves.

I plan to try this out again at the next hatchling party so speak now if you have ideas for improvement. The floor is open for comments.
