American Souaredance. August 1985 Fortieth Anniversary Year 3 One of the most exhilarating ex- periences in square dancing comes when a partner really knows how to swing, and for a brief moment the two of you whirl around, feet barely "buzzing" the floor on each beat. This may be as close to space flight as your earthbound co-editor is ever going to get! We wish all of you could share the feeling, be- cause to us this is one of the highlights of dancing. As American as motherhood and apple pie, the good old-fashioned swing has always been an in.tegral part of our square dancing. However, it took our recent trip and dancing with three clubs in Europe to make us realize that dancers there are still enjoying the end-of-the-call swing that has almost died out in the States. When a caller/dancer from New Hamp- shire and a dancer from Rhode Island a promenade when the caller said ended a tip with a hearty, lean-back-and- Swing.

4 Fortieth Anniversary Year American Squatedance. August 1985 Authors new to these pages and authors whose names are "household words" appear in these August pages. BY-LINE Every time Jo Jan Nunley has written an article, readers write to express their agreement. This month she writes of the new beginners with thoughts to be digested as we look ahead to a new Si() season. Louise Cole's surname is a familiar one but this is the first time she has appeared in the pages of ASD. Here is a presentation Louise made at LEGACY VII, a very well done one, with more thoughts for the new season. If you're thinking of spending your new season in a new climate, Clark and Ginger McDowell paint an enticing picture of south Texas. The McDowells are round dance cuers who will be traveling on their first ASD cruise next year. Sadly we printed the obituary of Dorothy Shaw earlier this year. No more fitting elegy could be written than Karen Utter's story of her motivation for building Long Shadows— our "Plumb Line" feature this month. Carol White shares a heartwarming experience with our readers. So many square dancers have felt the love and caring and friendship so often expressed between those in this activity, that we wonder why petty differences are causing so many problems. Interesting point to ponder as you soak up the August sun...

Four state associations got together and came up with an inexpensive state STATE LINE dress: an autumn-gold bolero vest with either gold or dark blue lining with a white four-inch, embroidered map of Massachhsetts outlined in dark blue on the center of the back. A red star locates the city or town from which the dancer comes. To complement the vest, which is worn by both women and men, the women wear a white blouse and navy blue skirt, the men wear a white shirt and navy blue pants. Most dancers have the basic items in their wardrobe, thus the only cost is for the vest and the em- broidered map of Massachusetts which sells for $4.00.

Luella Foerster of Onaway, Michigan, has only been dancing a year, but she has caught onto sewing for square dance outfits already. Using a square dance pattern she put together black broadcloth, red and white checks, and chicken scratch trim. Chicken scratch is the sewing of tiny little stitches, similar to cross-stitch. This fine work must have taken hours. Luella also made and trim- med hubby Ray's shirt with the same chicken scratch. What a conversation piece these outfits were! Can you im- agine what she will come up with next? Luella and Ray dance with the Jack Pine Twirlers.

Early in the afternoon, we landed again—in Luxemburg to be met by our first guide, Joelle, and whisked off to a quick inspection of the hotel and a quick tour of the old city fortifications. Since part of the group traveled from New York and part from Chicago, the tour and the party that followed were the first chances to get acquainted. Brigitte Kons, who was to be our guide for the entire tour, joined us for the party. After dinner, of which the main course was pork, we made a brief foray out to find salt and pepper shakers (our collector's items from any new locale) in the begin- ning mist.

Continue dance sequence. Note: Much body and arm movement is encouraged after you learn the basic se- quence. Two-steps are like conga or cha cha steps, three steps in two beats of music. Turning vine is the hard spot: when turning on L, swing R across, take weight and shift back to L. Exaggerate the movement until you figure it out, then pretty it up for enjoyment.

NOTE: The dance is best done with an even number of couples. On counts 17-24, the end couples can do a two-hand star and since this is a double progression, the end couples have no one to promenade, they have automatically crossed over. If perchance there is an odd number of couples, the bottom couple will balance and swing each other and end facing up. becoming immediately inactive and ready to star by the right.
