Notes

Couple Mixer; description from Janet Gabites <jgabites@eos.ubc.CA> Start the dance with two couples facing each other but offset so that the men are side by side, near arms linked. The other arm is around their partner's waist. The women are on the outside holding near shoulder with left hand, and partner's hand at the waist on the right. Running step around in a mill - if weight and size ratios are right and the music is fast enough, the women can fly. For the next section, open the line to hand-holds and pass the women in and under the mens' arms. Men keep holding hands, and women keep holding their partner's right hand. Women now turn back in to link free hands and the whole double-handed mill rotates. The third section is a waltz, first tyrolia (out, in, out, in) then regular partner waltz around the other couple. The whole dance then repeats. If it is being used as a mixer, each couple uses the waltzing to move off to find a new couple to dance with.
