Thread Name: Ceilidh calling - the first dance
Subject: RE: Ceilidh calling - the first dance
I sometimes call a dance that I have in an old book as 'Wild Goose Chase'. Now more often called 'Grapevine Twist'.
But I prefer the old name, and tell the leading man that it's HIS wild goose chase, accept no back seat drivers, they must follow where-ever he takes them. Then I demonstrate the 'official version' and let them loose.
Hmmm, I'd forgotten that one.
I used to do Coming round the Mountain until I wrote a varient of it the Liverpool Spider. (Silly dance but works in some settings).
