This week's flourish is one that is good for when you've got good connection with your partner, neither of you is feeling super-spinny, and your next neighbors are short enough that you won't clothesline them if you form an arch and let them go under it (possibly twice). It's very simple; when you go to do your do-si-do, keep your partner's hand and have the joined hands go over your neighbors' heads. If you want to be fancy about it (and have a little more control), you can do a variant that a gentleman in Atlanta by the name of Joseph (I'm sorry, I didn't quite catch your last name!) suggested to us and switch your own hand so that you can see where you're going on the return trip. :)
There is a danger here of potentially clothes-lining the people who are going under the arches; be certain to keep your hand-grip with your partner loose enough that if you miscalculate, you'll let go of your partner's hand rather than beaning someone in the face/back of the head.
Dancers this week are Valerie "The Queen" Young, Alex Dennis, Steven Roth, and Ryan Holman. Particular thanks to Alex and Valerie for helping us out!
