Type: Contra Dance, Duple Improper
Status: Proven
For my wife Sage on our 10th Valentine’s Day. Written independently but likely strongly inspired by my recollection of Don Flaherty’s Heartbeat Contra – the A parts are the same and the B parts are a sort of inverse, with a unique twist via a Gent’s Balance and Pull By.
A1
Ring/4 Balance, Petronella Slide/Twirl
Ring Balance, Petronella Slide/Twirl (now on side with N)
A2
Neighbor Balance & Swing
B1
Gents LH Balance & Pull By
Partner Swing
B2
Circle Left 3/4x, Ring/4 Balance
2s Arch, 1s Duck through to new Ring/4
End effects:
Tune suggestions: Jigs work great
