Notes
Notes
1
A1/A2 are from Dennis Salt’s Coolham Waltz. I lost the B1 and didn’t want an 8-bar B2 waltz.
2
The ‘allemande’ in A1 is the ‘rock ‘n roll style allemande. Take right hands, balance forward & back, change with partner, the lady turning under the man’s raised hand.
3
You can make the dance progressive by making the allemande in B1 5-8 with the next person to the right.
4
Most recordings of Metsäkukkia will need to be sped up.
