Hi everyone.  Here are the 3 figures we covered in Lesson 11.  Remember that you are invited to the Country Cousins Christmas Dance on Saturday December 8 at 8 pm!


1.Box the Gnat
 
Dancers join and raise their right hands to make an arch; these hands remain connected throughout the call. In one smooth motion dancers Pass Thru and turn around:

• The woman turns left and goes under the arch.
• The man turns right and walks forward around the woman.

At the end of the call, each dancer will be standing in the other’s original position and they will again be facing.
