Joined at the Hip

by Russel Owen

Looking at my list of dance favorites, it's no secret that the star promenade is my most-loved unusual move. But this dance pushes the star promenade further, by making it the progression as you hook from one star promenade to the next. It does require a fair amount of room in the center of the set, but it's well worth it. Everything else flows well, with a clever entry into the star promenade that could have just been a hack. There's not much more to say.

A very close relative of this dance is the very good "There is no Way to Peace; Peace is the Way" by Erik Hoffman. The entry into the star promenade is a little easier, the entry into the partner swing doesn't flow as well, and it's 100% circle-free.
