Insurmountable Opportunities
Duple minor longways
Tune: Morrison’s Jig (Irish traditional)
A1 1-2 All set toward your neighbor
3-4 Turn single over right shoulder and take hands four
5-8 Circle left once around
A2 1-4 Neighbors gate clockwise once around 1-1/4 until
first corners can take left hands in the center
5-8 In the center, left-hand turn 1-1/2, then face partner
B1 1-4 Half hey-for-4 across the set (partners pass by the right to begin)
5-8 Partners 2-hand turn 1-1/4 and face in
B2 1-2 In a ring-of-4, balance in and out, and…
3-4 Petronella turn: Turning over right shoulder, move
into the position of the dancer on your right;
immediately face neighbor on the side
5-6 Two changes of rights and lefts, starting with neighbor
7-8 Neighbors right-hand turn halfway; say goodbye, drop hands,
and spin over right shoulder to face next neighbor
B2 5-8 is like three changes with a bit of extra sauce on the last change.
This is an “anglicized” variation of my contra dance, Bingham’s Pie.
