San Diego's first go at trying to alternative/techno music -- Justin had prepared a mix for one set, including part of which was a riff off the song, "Angeline the Baker".
Flashing Sirens is the rename of Ranting Banshee, with a new fiddler.
I videoed myself doing the beginner's session: Part one and Part two.
Here's the version of "Vector Analysis" I called:
Vector Anaylsis, original versionA1 Ladies chain 1/2 hey (WR,NL,MR) A2 Partner balance Partner swing B1 Men allemande left 1 & 1/2 Neighbor swing B2 Long lines forward and back Partner box the gnat Square through (PR,NL) (no balances)
But the B2 proved to be too unforgiving for certain partner pairs, and distorted the rest of the dance. Plus I wasn't thrilled with the space needed for all to box the gnat in the center of the set. I've since revised it.
