Iroquois in Summer

John Nash 2017-07-22, revised 2017-07-26

This dance was written when I discovered a nice rendition of Dansje voor Elsche at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nh2PIPyRaao while looking for music for the traditional dance Zealand. The nice slow tune suggested a languid dance suitable for a hot summer day. With Sara Lawson's July 23 dance the next day, the temptation was irresistible. The dance worked quite well, but with input from George Cherepon and Mary Williams, a few minor edits produced the following instructions.

DM Improper

A1 	C1 and C2 face, promenade into each other's place (slow)
	then R and L to opposite. End home all facing out

A2   	Lead out a double with neighbour, turn towards each other
	In a double. Circle 4 Left. (For a slow dance, circle half)

B1    	Set R and L twice, Circle 4 Right. (For a slow dance, circle half)

B2      Balance neighbour and change, Turn Ptnr 1 time round right hand,
        ready to take promenade hold for next round.
