This is the statement which will appear on all association-represented schedules and handouts: When your square breaks down, all square up, heads slide to the right to form normal lines of four, and when you see the other squares in lines, proceed from there.

10 American Squaredance, January 1980 Dancers who attended the successful New Year's Eve Dance held by the U.S.W. Western Squares in Hamilton, Ohio, last year had a wonderful time. The program consisted of all singing calls by Jess Fugate of Sidney, Ohio, and club caller Bill Stiehl. Round dances were cued by Ben Gripe. Pictured are Father Time (Austin Moore, club president) and the New Year baby (John Stives, past president). At 12 midnight, the New Year baby chased Father Time around the room until he departed. Editorial Note: The New Year baby of 1979 has now matured into the departing Father Time, and this month we welcome a new baby and a new decade with the advent upon the scene of 1980. May it be one of square dancing's truly vintage years!

Continuous watching for sight cues is not recommended because it interferes with the dancer's posture, position, form, style, smoothness and timing. The primary reasons for sight cue faults are the need to watch others and the lack of advance knowledge of the next figure. Watching others requires that the eyes be continually on the sight cue source. On turns the head and eyes must be shifted quickly to reestablish contact. This head and eye shifting and jerking degrades head and eye direction and attitude. It impairs posture.

His do paso was just so so, His star thru was a riot, And when the call was box the gnat ADVICE FOR ALL SEASONS He wouldn't even try it! Although we both are growing old He tromped upon his partner's toes And wind beats at our door, And kicked his corner's shin. It doesn't matter if it's cold— He swung his lady round and orund We go and dance some more! And bumped her on the chin. Sometimes our doctor bills are cruel, It really wasn't Henry's fault, The woodstove quite a chore. He worked so hard and long. It doesn't matter if it's cool— But though he tried to do things right We go and dance some more! They always came out wrong. On days when we feel out of form He went to every lesson, And life's a humid bore, He studied night and day. It doesn't matter if it's warm— Then forgot it all the minute We go and dance some more! That he heard the fiddles play. When heat waves make us fan a lot Now Henry's gone to his reward; And wish for rain to pour, We all will miss that guy. It doesn't matter if it's hot— He's swinging up with the angels We go and dance some more! At a square dance up on high. Square dancing makes all seasons sweet But though he's wearing wings of gold As we move round the floor. It hasn't solved his plight. When life gets difficult to meet— 'Cause when St. Pete calls circle left, Just go and dance some more! Our Henry still goes right. Mary F. Heisey K Lee York, Pennsylvania From Fed Facts.

American Squaredance. January 1980 33 MY PETTICOAT TREE

Hey, girls! Let me share an idea. HEM-LINE ) After bemoaning the problem of petticoats falling from closet shelves and bulging from under beds and just plain "busting out all over" the place, I said to GLB, "Come on, you must have some ideas!" Let me tell you what we came up with: a swag lamp hook screwed into the ceiling in a corner of the bedroom. From this we hung a lightweight chain. Now I simply pass a safety pin through the waistband of the petticoat and hook it through one of the links in the chain. Presto! A beautiful colorful petticoat tree. I waken in the morning and decide there are some clever ideas left in this household. The chain (we used the plastic type) can be as long as needed to accommodate all your petticoats.

American Squaredance. January 1980 37 by Bob Howell easy lev—

On our Swiss trip this past October, Phyllis and I had the privilege of spending part of a day with Willy and Betti Chapuis of Burgdorf. They were conducting a dance workshop at The Furigen outside of Lucerne. What a wonderful international experience. They taught us this solo dance which they call: STAMPY FORMATION: No partners needed, all face front of the hall. MUSIC: Any late hit or disco style of music. Counts 1-4 Walk forward 3 steps beginnina on the right foot and kick the left foot forward on the fourth count (R, L, R, Kick L.) 5-8 Back up 3 steps and touch right foot on count 4 (L, R, L, Touch) 9-16 Repeat the forward and back steps. . 17 Stamp the right foot. 18 Clap hands in front. 19-20 Snap fingers twice over head. , 21-24 Repeat counts 17-20. 0 25-26 Step right foot to the right, touch left toe to right instep. 27-28 Step left with left foot, touch right toe to left instep. 29-32 Repeat counts 25-28. NOTE: Betli says to style the dance with plenty of "body english" especially when doing the "clap'' and "finger snapping in the air." Last summer at a Lloyd Shaw Foundation workshop in Steamboat Springs, Colorado, Don Armstrong taught another version of Erev Ba, which is the most simple I have ever seen done to the dance, but the most beautiful. As the old year as well as the decade ends, try this enchanting circle dance which requires no partners. Erev Ba means "Evening Falls." I use it as a "closer" at many dances. The tune is haunting and I find myself humming it on my way home long after the dance is over. EREV BA FORMATION: Single circle, hands joined, no partners needed. MUSIC: Erev Ba, Worldtown Records WT 10004 ROUTINE: Part A, After the intro begin with hands held at shoulder height and body facing to the right. 1-4 Walk counterclockwise three steps, beginning with right foot (R,L,R, hold) 5-8 Hitch back. (Step backward on the left foot, then backward on right foot, then forward on the left foot and hold.) 9-16 Repeat counts 1-8 17-24 Repeat counts 1-8 again. PART B 1-4 As in part A, with the hands still held but placed by your sides, walk three steps counterclockwise (R,L,R, hold). 5-6 Step backward on the left foot and in a partial sitting position (chair), face toward the center of the circle and 7-8 With weight on the left foot, click heel of right foot forward in a circular motion. 9-16 Repeat 1-8 part B. 17-24 Repeat 1-8 part B. TAG: Repeat part B two more times.

38 American Squaredance. January 1980 Let's start the new year and decade out with a simple contra that Ralph Page of Keene, New Hampshire, recorded several years ago. The swinging in this one will give you a new "high." It is called: MORNING STAR FORMATION: Proper duple: 1,3,5,etc. active but not crossed. MUSIC: "Rakes cf Mallow," if 2/4 time is preferred; "Haste to the Wedding" if 618 time is favored. 1-16 Actives give right to partners, balance and swing (4-count step swing balance and swing for 12 counts.) 17-32 Actives give left hand to partner, balance and swing. (Again, 4 count balance and 12 count swing) 33-40 Actives down the center. 41-48 Turn alone, come back. 49-56 Cast off and right and left thru. 57-64 Right and left back.

What could start the new decade off better than "happiness?" When I heard the new release, "One Cup of Happiness," the music simply fit the old "Sweet Georgia Brown" Mixer routine. The lilt of the music will indeed make you happy. HAPPINESS MIXER FORMATION: Double circle. Partners holding inside hands, lady on the man's right, both facing CCW in line of dance. Open promenade position. M begins on left foot. MUSIC: One Cup of Happiness, Grenn 1264. Count 1-4 Each takes four steps going forward, turning to face on last step. 5-8 Continue turning, face reverse line of dance and back up four steps. 9-12 Facing RLOD, walk four steps forward, turning to face on the 12 count. 13-16 Face LOD and back up four steps. (As you back up, separate from partner slightly.) 17-20 Standing side by side facing LOD, balance together and away. 21-24 Gents whirl the lady with a half sashay. (Gent steps right two sashay steps to the lady's place.) 25-28 Balance together and away again while facing 10D. 29-32 Lady does a right face turn under man's left and lady's right Joined hands and rolls back to the outside (right side) of the gent behind her. All have new partners to begin again.

Following is a square dance that I adapted from the old "Pop Goes the Weasel" routine. It works really well at one-night-stands. One quick walk-thru is all that's needed. I call it: POPPIN' GOOD Couple # 1 balance and swing Go twice around and don't be late Once and a half and pop them under Then head two couples separate On to new sides and circle like thunder Lady go right, gent go left Lady goes right and men go left Circle up three by the whiffle tree Circle up three. Once and a half around you do Once and a half and on you roam Sides make an arch and pop them thru. Make an arch and pop them home Circle up four with number three All eight swing.

Repeat for each couple. Any familiar hoedown tune will be good. 39
