Blackbird Pie

June 2001 improper contra dance by Joseph Pimentel

  A1  Lines of 4 down the hall (1s in the center) Turn alone,
      return, bend the line
  A2  Circle L; Star L
  B1  W see-saw; M DSD
  B2  F&B 1s sw (end facing down and step between new 2s)

Teaching Notes
A simple dance easy for everyone with the uniqueness of the see-saw to give some interest to experienced folks. A see-saw is a left-shoulder do-si-do.
The only transition which might need attention is moving from the men's do-si-do to the long lines forward and back. New dancers don't find this any more challenging than any other parts of the dance, and experienced dancers can make it feel good.
