- | Recording: {{ ::music:longevity_070_bn14iw-04.mp3.zip |}}\\ | + | Teaching tip: It is important to stress that dancers maintain eye contact in the "Two Cousins" siding, |
- | {{ ::music:longevity_-_jnc15.mp3.zip |}} | + | so that the direction of the circles will feel inevitable. |
+ | |||
+ | Note: In Wil van den Berg's dance "Two Cousins" (published in Dutch Crossing, 1993), she calls this | ||
+ | "one-quarter siding" and describes it as follows: "With partner start as in Cecil Sharp siding, curving | ||
+ | in to finish right shoulder to right shoulder with partner.... Use four steps, close with right foot on | ||
+ | the fifth and pause on the sixth." | ||
+ | |||
+ | I wrote this dance for Lucy Weinstein when she celebrated the 21" anniversary | ||
+ | of her 29'" birthday. The opening figure fits her style of dancing perfectly both | ||
+ | graceful and flirtatious! Lucy is also an MD, so the title is both a birthday wish | ||
+ | and a comment on her other life. |
