Tilt-A-Whirl

hook: four-person gyre

formation: proper

A1	8	long lines forward & back
	8	____ gyre 1¼ for all four +
A2	16	partners meltdown swing
B1	8	gentlespoons allemande left 1½
	8	neighbors swing
B2	2	pass through across the set
	4	partners California twirl
	10	ones half figure 8 above ⁋

gyre for all four: people can keep eyes on their diagonal opposite as they gyre around. One and one quarter puts the gentlespoons above the ladles in the set, and the gaze shifts to partner. Teaching may be easier if it is taught initially with a hands across star, then have people leave the hands out.

Martha Wild notes: I was concerned that it would seem like too much clockwise motion, but people did not find that an issue, perhaps because the second half has little.
