+ | Music: Mendocino Cure by Dave Bartley, 2007\\ | ||
+ | Teaching Points:\\ | ||
+ | Al and A2 diagonal changes: Same people (original 1% diagonals) always cross first.\\ | ||
+ | B 5-8: The back to back is a strong movement out for about five steps and then a collection on | ||
+ | sixth step to back up, ending close to partner; out of the final 2-hand turn the 2s fall back and then Is stay close ready to lead down.\\ | ||
+ | For the progression we suggest the 2s not take hands when they move up since it is a quick | ||
+ | transition into the beginning of the dance.\\ | ||
+ | This dance recalls Tom Colton's woozy appearance at the 2003 Mendocino English Dance and | ||
+ | Music Week two days after his first chemotherapy treatment for a lymphoma that had invaded | ||
+ | his bones and lung. By the end of the week the magic of Mendocino (plus his wife Ellen Simms’ | ||
+ | nursing) had done its work, launching Tom into recovery with energy, grace, and humor. Back at | ||
+ | Mendocino in 2007, still footloose and cancer-free, Tom and Ellen were ready to celebrate with | ||
+ | a new dance to commemorate the Mendocing Cure. We first met Tom and Ellen at this camp; it | ||
+ | is one of our favorite places to dance together. We look forward to dancing and hiking with them | ||
+ | or many years to come, |
