This week's flourish is a way to transition from a circle into a high ceilidh swing. The flourish is fairly simple -- passing your partner's hand behind your back and then pulling up into a swing, using the momentum of the circle moving -- but rather elegant when done well and can be done with limited space involved.
Dancers, as usual, are Ryan Holman & Steven Roth.

You, too, can have your flourishes featured! Drop us a line!
To those of you celebrating with family and friends in the next couple of weeks, happy holidays! To everybody (including the holiday-celebrants), we wish you light, luck and love in the new year! We'll be back on Wednesday with more syncretistic goodness (for real this time -- I'm telecommuting all next week and hopefully I will be over whatever miserable flu-like thing I appear to have caught this week...)!
Carry on Dancing,
CS
