Dances with a Difference, Volume 5
Corrections
I admit it — I produced this book in a rush and there are far too many mistakes!
Northbourne Hop — page 6
You are supposed to join hands in the lines.
Old Friends and New — page 7
In an earlier version of these corrections I said that the neutral twos at the top
don't need to turn half-way in
A1, but the original book is correct; they do, since they won't be doing the cross and cast at the start of
A2. That's what comes to listening to my guinea-pigs!
The
B music should start A C C D C and then F in bar 2, rather than A E E F E and then A in bar 2.
Star of David — page 10
The dancing right shoulder round someone in
A1 and
A2 is until you are facing in — don't go all the way round.
True Brittania — page 21
The
D music in 2:2 time is for the last time through the dance.
Good Turns — page 22
It's a standard progression, not a reverse progression.
Midwinter — page 24
Bar 7 of the
B-music needs crotchet G and B after the minim G and an octave below it.
Tea Up! — page 32
A1 is like the start of a “strip the willow” from both ends. It should be danced with a step-hop all the way through, not just in
B2.
The Clocks Go Back Tonight — page 27
Add a time signature of 2:2, and the sharp in the key signature of the second line.
Elegy — page 29
In bar 8 of the
B music the last two notes should be A, B, not F, G.
English Breakfast Tea — page 30: In
C2, “Men cross left shoulder” means “cast left shoulder round each other”.
No Clapping! — page 44
The note should say Cary Ravitz, not Gary Ravitz. The sharp in the key signature of the
A music shouldn't be there, but as there aren't any F's in the tune it doesn't matter!
Megalomania — page 48
Yes I did mean that G# in bar 5 of the
B-music — but I've missed out an F# in bar 7.
