[Tower Ravens] New dance notation

Hi all, For the benefit of those who are just starting to learn the new dance here is the notation: Outward facing ring - 3 steps, then 2 and 4, then 1 and 5, then connect swords Beadnell style out into open ring windmills (two times through) Fountains Choker, turn right half way Display lock - 3 stands at front of set, everyone else moves around 3 corners Hold on to star breastplate and turn left half way Lock Nut - Stepping in 8 Winlaton spin Make a line facing the back, step around 180 degrees in a smooth 8 needles Triangle lock - display in V with 3 at back, 1 and 5 at front Walkround until 2 has back to audience 5 and 4 do jumps 2 tumbles Walk round to coach and horses Tits/follower/follower/tits with T coming in for last tits 6 person lock - display by turning slowly on the stop in 8s remove T Walkround until 1 has back to audience Windmills (one and a half times) Double tumble Open ring Glass Popcorn Lock - display in V with 3 at front Double stepping, out. Walk off with 3 stamping on 8 and turning back through centre of set, 2 and 4 follow on 4, 1 and 5 follow on 8. Here are the videos from the two times we did the dance in Oxford - http://youtu.be/WmdgxG1tSEU and http://youtu.be/SShR_weRG8Y. For anyone geeky I've also written it out in great detail, mostly so I have a thorough list of what we need to work on. Nikki, I also wrote on it how long each figure should take. If my maths is correct then we will eventually need 252 bars of music, or 7.875 times through normal length tunes. Good luck with working that out! Here's the link to that doc https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1MxSLGDyWD2HE4MiG92Eneehd0Dvg6QqyBpk… I'm aware I haven't sent one of my practice plans in a while. I'll get on to it soon but tomorrow I'd like to start with us all working together on some of the basic rapper skills - stepping, walking, spinning etc - before breaking into two sets. See you soon, Ffion x P.S. If you're looking for some entertainment this evening The Spring Heeled Jacks ceilidh band are doing a free ceilidh at The Grafton Pub in Kentish Town from approx 7.30pm.
