Weeks on the Road (var)

by: Bill Olson

formation: Becket

My own personal-choreography-discovered-accidental-variation of Weeks on the Road by Bill Olson, this one keeps the energy driving in the B1 leading up to the partner swing much better than the original choreography, which replaces the balance/spin right with a circle left 3/4.

A1 8
left diagonal ladles chain
8
ladles start a half hey - rights in center, lefts on ends
A2 16
neighbors balance & swing
B1 8
balance & petronella
4
balance the ring
4
neighbors California twirl
B2 16
partners balance & swing

The person you chain / chain to in A1 is the neighbor you swing in A2.
