Spring Sprightly

Duple Minor Longways, Double Progression by Tom Senior

Music by Martha Stokely, played 5 times on the Childgrove Album “Wanderlust.”

Music notation available at: http://childgrovemusic.com/doculment/SpringSprightly.pdf

A  1    Set to partner and Turn single (Higgs setting suggested)*
   2-3  Star left once around
   4-5  Take hands with neighbor, face partner, fall back setting,
        come forward.  
   6-8  Gate the person below up and around
B1 1    Set facing center of the original group of 4,
   2    Swirl crossing (all 4 cross to corner's place at once,
        passing right shoulders.)
   3-4  Turn partner with both hands once around, open to face next couple.
B2 1    Set facing the center of this group of 4.
   2    Swirl crossing
   3-4  Turn partner with both hands once around,
        open to face next couple.

* Higgs setting: in honor of the enthusiasm of Scott Higgs and Barbara Cool, who occasionally set forwards to the right, (passing left shoulders) then move left back to back, then turn single to original place (passing right shoulders). This is very energetic, and a move that fits the sprit of the music and the title.
