Lesson 9 - November 18, 2018

Good work on Lesson 9.  Here is what we covered:

1.Run (boys run, girls run, ends run centers run, centers cross run, ends cross run)
 
Each runner (designated dancer) must have a non-runner (slider) either to the right or to the left, and these dancers work together.
 
The runner and non-runner (slider) exchange places: the runner walks forward in a semicircle into the non-runner's spot (ending with the opposite facing direction), while the non-runner slides into the runner's spot without changing facing direction.

2.Swing  Thru
 
Right Swing Thru (which is normally the case): Those who can turn 1/2 (180 degrees) by the right; then those who can turn 1/2 (180 degrees) by the left.
 
Left Swing Thru: Those who can turn 1/2 (180 degrees) by the left; then those who can turn 1/2 (180 degrees) by the right.

3.Swing Thru – to an Alamo style wave
 
Dancers start an Allemande Left but continue the Arm Turn until the men are looking toward the center of the square and the women are looking out. Maintain the left handhold and join right hands with the adjacent dancer to form an Alamo Ring.

4.Pass the Ocean
 
The 3-part definition is smoothed out. The left-side dancers walk in a forward arc to the right to their ending position. The right-side dancers walk forward to join left hands (hands up styling) and turn 1/4 with each other.
