====== Trim the Sails ====== Chris Suckett and Brooke Friendly 2005\\ Triple Minor Longways\\ Tune: Trim the Sails Al 1-2 Partners pass R shoulder and loop left to face around circle CCW 3-4 All no-hands circle halfway round to end facing partner A2 1-2 Partners pass L-shoulder and loop right to face around circle CW 3-4 All no-hands circle halfway round to end home facing partner BI 1-4 All circle 6-hands to left and back to right (slipping) B2 1-2 Is cast into 2nd place 3-4 New lines of 3 (with hands) go forward and back (1s with new 2s and 3s below) Music: The Wishing Well, a traditional Irish slip jig\\ Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=spjLsALriso\\ Teaching points:\\ The partner passes in the A part are curvy.\\ In the A part, the 2s are the anchor for the figure. They end home at the end of each A and can help the other dancers (who end Al proper and at other end of line) go the correct distance around the circle\\ The pessimist complains about the wind, an optimist hopes it will change, and a pragmatist trims the sails. //William Arthur Ward//
