BIRMINGHAM, ALA. 35226 It is so very interesting to observe and explore square dance choreography ideas as one thought leads to another with seemingly no end of "new basics" in sight. There are so few new basics, mostly new twists given a new name. Yours is a good one, however, and should stay in the square dance picture. BOB JOHNSON, Long Beach, Calif.: "1 plan to start a strictly arky workshop sometime in the future in addition to the many other classes and clubs. . .

This would result in having two men and 1034 two ladies moving around in the wrong direction. Another example, when meeting "FAR, FAR AWAY" partners on a right and left grand, heads turn back (side couples balance Called By — Bill BALL two counts but don't turn back), pull by so that the same sex meet for an _71035 arky allemande, all go back to original partners and start another right and left grand moving forward in the "MEXICAN JOE" direction now faced.
