+ | Gary Roodman 2008 Odd Calculated Figures\\ | ||
+ | Three couple longways mixer, 2nd couple improper, G Minor, 2/2 | ||

+ | Tune “Sophia” Musicalischey | ||
+ | Tugendtspiegel by Erasmus Widmann, 1631. | ||
+ | |||
+ | NOTES:\\ | ||
+ | Al 3-6 It helps to have dancers think of this as all one flowing unit, not three | ||
+ | separate moves. The same is true in A2 3-6. \\ | ||
+ | B2 1-4 Where all the movements in B1 are in 4 bars, the two changes here are 2 | ||
+ | bars for each change, and should flow smoothly into the circle.\\ | ||
+ | The dance and music have a formal regal feeling.\\ | ||
+ | This dance is for Robin Hayden, who bas helped create a thriving dance | ||
+ | community in the Amberst/Northampton area. | ||
