Еще один интересный танец от Малкольма Брауна, описанием которого поделился с нами Олег Иванов из Воронежа, за что ему огромное спасибо!
The St. Petersburg Metro
Square Set
1 - 2 1st couple turn RH while 2nd couple turn LH
3 - 4 1M with 2L take both hands and using slip step dance across and through the space between
3rd & 4th couples
5 - 8 Casting away from each other, 1M and 2L dance around the outside of the set, to original place
9 - 16 1s & 3s dance Rights & Lefts, (1M & 3M omit polite turn) while
2s & 4s stand for 2 bars & dance 3/4 Rights & Lefts
17 - 20 1s & 3s RH across 1 ¼ times – finish ready for
21 - 22 2M 1M 3L 4L and 2L 1L 3M 4M balance in line
23 - 24 2M 1M, 3L 4L, 2L 1L, 3M 4M, half turn LH and face each other
25 - 32 Reels of 4 across (L Sh to start) – after 6 bars 2s & 4s cast to the left to finish in 3rd & 1st place, while 1s & 3s finish the reel to finish in 2nd and 4th place
Notes:
1. Providing the set is large enough, during the 1st 8 bars 3rd couple can also turn RH while 4th couple turn LH, 3M & 4L can take both hands and slip diagonally across the set, 4L passing back to back with 1L, and casting round the set to original place – as cars drive on the left in Russia, I suggest that 1M and 4L, 3M and 2L, pass L Sh as they dance around the set to original place.
2. The couples must dance right across the set during bars 9 – 16 to avoid colliding with the other couple
3. The Metro in St Petersburg (and Moscow) seems to go a lot faster than in the UK, the RH across during bars 17-20 is also danced faster than usual
4. This dance was devised especially for the young, energetic dancers we met in Russia during our visit in 2010.
