This week's flourish comes to us from a viewer out in the Inland Northwest by the name of Peggy Hamilton. It's a neat flourish if you time it right, but if you manage to miss the lead you're most likely not going to cause major damage as long as you don't then try to force it using the upper hand (still, be aware of sore shoulders, but if you lead the push from the follow's upper arm it shouldn't be an issue).
Thank you to Betty and Keith Holman for letting us use their home's entryway as our set!
You, too can have your flourishes featured in 2012! Send them our way via this site's Contact page or end us a video on YouTube to user contrasyncretist!
This wraps up Contra Syncretist's new content for 2011, but we'll be back on Monday with more syncretistic goodies! Steve and I wish you a safe New Year's Eve and a wonderful 2012 in advance, complete with dancing and fun, traditional or otherwise.
Among the highlights coming up for us in the Glen Echo community are the Friday Night Dance tonight with Perpetual e-Motion and Bob Isaacs's calling; the FSGW New Year's Contra with Nor'easter and Gaye Fifer calling, and Double Apex playing the FSGW Sunday Dance with Janine Smith; next weekend, we're following John, Ed, Julie, and Brendan down to Tennessee, where their respective duos play for Chattaboogie with the Christie Burns Trio. Seth Tepfer and Vicki Herndon are calling Chattaboogie and it should be fabulous; hope to see and dance with several of you there!
Happy Friday,
CS
