 some square dancing. So why don't you just grab a partner and come out to the center, come out to the front of the stage here. We might have to move the chair a little to the side. So we're just gonna do a couples dance. You don't even, you're all ready for a square. I love that. I love that so much. I think we're just gonna start with, just grab a partner. We'll just do a mixer. So let's get in a big circle with your partner. I'm a little concerned about the chair. I kind of feel like we should move the chair over. Everybody can come closer. Okay, big giant circle. Okay, so is everybody having a partner? So what we're gonna do is we're gonna, we're gonna circle up with a couple next to you. Lost and Found doesn't, so yeah, make a big circle. We'll circle left, we'll circle right, and then you're gonna, you're gonna couple up with a couple next to you. Lost and Found go in the middle. So just, you and your partner find another couple and join hands four. There we go. Okay, reach, you're gonna reach right hands across for right hand star and turn your star. Right hands. You just grab the right hand with the person across from you. Yep. And then the other way back with the left hand star, switch hands and turn your star. And then you want to turn your star. You got it. And then you're going to swing your partner. That's, I mean your corner. That's one who's not your partner. Swing your corner. And then you're gonna go home and swing your own. And then you're gonna find a new couple. And we're just gonna do this a few times. So keep your original partner and move on to the next and find another one. But let's start in a great big circle. Ready? Yeah? Everybody feel good about it? Looking great. All right, so we're gonna have four couples make a square. So we're gonna have couple number one with their back to the stage. Do you all want to get in a square? Or are you just gonna do your own thing? You want to try to make a square? Let's see. I'm not dancing. We need one couple. Okay. We need one of you. So maybe we can make another square. Why don't we try? Can we get two more couples out there? Two more couples. If you want to dance with the girls just to help. You want to swap or something? We still need two more couples. You don't have to leave. We need two more couples. We can't get one more couple. There aren't, I don't mean to be too forceful. Improvise over there. I don't know if this would work for you all. Do you just want to improvise over there? Sorry. Okay, so couple number one has their back to the band. Raise your hand. All right, couple number two is to their right. Raise your hand. Couple number three is facing the band. And that leaves us a couple number four. All right, so the first couple, you're gonna join hands just no, just one hand. There you go. And you're gonna walk across the set and you're gonna pick up the couple across from you and pull them back to where you are. And then you're gonna have them go back. You're gonna go back uptown. Couple number three is gonna make an arch. You all can sort of like improvise. Just practice along. And then couple number one is gonna go under the arch. The partner on the right is gonna go right around the circle. The one on the left is gonna go left around the circle until you get home. And then you're gonna swing. Swing your partners at home. And we're gonna try a break figure. It's a common break figure. So you have your partner in one hand. And you have your corner is the person next to you on the other side. So you're going to, do you know a left-hand Allaman? You're gonna put palm to palm with your elbows down. Yep. It's like a hand wrestle hold, but you don't grab hands. It's just hand to hand. And you're gonna circle around your corner until you're looking at your partner and you grab a right hand. And you're going to now hold, stay where you are. In the direction, oh, in the dressing direction you're facing, you're gonna pull your partner by you and you're gonna walk by the next person. Give your left hand to the next. Right hand to the next. Left to the next until you meet your partner. And you're gonna promenade until you get to your original home place. And then couple number two is gonna do the same thing. You think you got it though? You want to practice with couple number two? Or you think you got it? Okay, couple number two, you go uptown. Bring that couple home with you. Back uptown. They make an arch and you go through. Traditionally, it's lady on the right, gent on the left, if you want to do that. You go all the way home and you swing your partners at home. And then you're gonna look, let's practice the break again. You're gonna look for your corner with a left hand Allaman. And then you're gonna give a right hand to your partner and you're gonna pull by all the way around the ring. Looking so good. You all are naturals. Look at that. And we get home, you're gonna, you're gonna promenade home. I might tell you to swing. Good. How's my square over there? Are you all okay? Thank you. That's all that matters. We'll switch it up next time. So we're just gonna get your partner across from you and make two big lines facing your partner. Alright, so bring your lines right up to the stage. Bring the head couples right up here. You're gonna make one big line facing your partner. Everybody form one big line. So it's gonna be like a partner. You're gonna be like a long line going that way away from me. Does that make sense? You're gonna face your partner and you're gonna make a long line. Yeah, that's the idea. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. No, it doesn't matter. So we're gonna do long lines. We're gonna go, you're gonna hold hands in your long lines. You're gonna go forward and back. One, two, three, four. One, two, three, four. Now you're gonna go forward again. You're gonna give your partner a right hand round. So just that's what we just did in the Allaman. So it's, oh, yeah. And then you're gonna go back to your side of the line. And then you're gonna be your partner with a left hand round. And then you're gonna do see dough, do sigh dough, the one you know, you're gonna pass right shoulders. You're gonna go back to your place. Now the top couple you're gonna peel off. So everybody face me. The two lines face me. And the top couple is gonna peel off. So you're gonna walk and turn around and go to the back. Yep. Everyone follow them. And they're gonna make an arch at the top. One fun thing. So before they do that, they're going to sashay down and sashay back. I forgot the most fun part. So Shade and Maybell, when you're at the top here, you're gonna sashay down, you're gonna sashay down and back. Do you not? You want to show us how to do it? Just back? Yeah, you hold two hands across. You're gonna sashay. So from here, you would have sashay back and forth and then peel off. Okay, you got it. You want to be the head people again? Okay, everyone's gonna have to do it once. Virginia. So find a partner and let's square the sets. See, we can get four couples in a square. We have to get at least another square. These two are dancing. Right? You two are dancing? Okay. So form another square with these two. So do you want to come over here where it's flat? You all want to shimmy down over there? Like make one square here, one square here. Okay, come over here, this new form of square. Yay. Let's do divide the ring. All right. So couple number one as you're back to the band. You remember who you are, right? Yeah, that's you two. You're gonna be our lead couple, couple number two to the right, couple three facing the band, couple four. So couple number one, you are going to swing. And then what you're gonna do is you're gonna hold hands like this and you're going to go down the center and divide the rings. You're gonna walk across the set and you're gonna divide couple number three. The one on the right go right. The other one go left around the circle and swing when you meet at the head and feet. So the head and feet couple can swing. So the feet, yeah, there you go. The feet couple are across from the head couple. Okay, and then you're gonna go down the center and you're gonna cut away four. So now the head couple is gonna go and you're going to go but the person on the right is gonna go between couple two and no, you're gonna go between couple two and three and the one on the left is gonna go between couple three and four. So why don't you do it? Go ahead and do it. Yeah, you're gonna go between. So yeah, the next hole. Yeah, you got that. Swing when you meet at the head and feet. And now it's going to be, now you're gonna cut away two. So you're gonna go to the right. You're gonna divide the couple on the right and divide the couple on the left. You're gonna go around them and swing. So you just, yep, and then you're gonna go home and swing and you meet at the head and feet. And then couple number two will do the same thing. Do you want to practice a couple number two? Want to try that? So couple number two, are you all good? Do you want to practice it? Are you all good over there? Okay, I think we're good. So we're gonna do that same break figure. So you've got your partner in one hand, you've got your corner in the other. So you're going to look for your corner with a left alamand. Back to your partner, pull by with your right hand. So maybel and una, you're gonna just pull by and walk past each other. You just kind of help each other. So when you meet your partner, you'll swing and promenade. Sorry, I was watching this square over here. Sorry. Let's try it one more time because I bet you all can get it. I bet you can get it. Go back home. So let's just go real slow. So so alamand left with your corner corner. Maybel look to your corner and now when you get back to una and maybel, you're just gonna look at each other. Maybel and una, you're gonna swing back to una and now you're just gonna join hands and pull by each other. Take your right hands. Yep, that's it. That's it. Yep, but you're gonna keep going in that direction until you see maybel on the other side. Yay and then swing your partner. The other option is to it'll be fine, right? If you get confused, you just go home. Go home and start swinging. Yeah. Everyone moves. Everyone moves. There you go. See all walks come dry with. Yeah. Did I tell you that? And then afterwards. So much for coming out to this beautiful festival here in Hubbard Park. I'm with the Summit School. My name is Katie Trout and I'm helping to coordinate this event. We've had a lovely day of workshops and thank you to Jennifer Johnson here who called the square dance will hold for us with our three headlining performers Jake Nadine and Sammy. Right now, you might be wondering what is going to happen. This is kind of an open time period where we encourage people to get your instruments out and jam. We set up a couple tents for shade and and the old shelter is fair game too. And the Le Bon Crepe, I believe they're called, is our food truck for the day and they are going to start serving crepes momentarily. So if you're hungry, please visit them. They're very affordable and delicious. At five o'clock is when the evening concert begins so we have a little time here five to seven. So stick around and enjoy this beautiful afternoon. Thanks again for coming.
