A Proper Trifle
a duple proper contra by David Kirchner
Notes: This dance appeared in CDSS News (May/June 1995). First corners are the active gent and the inactive lady. I have found it helpful to tell dancers during the first walk-through to align themselves across the hall when they form the wavy lines; if they end up in diagonal lines, less experienced dancers may become confused at the progression. Although aligning this way feels a bit clunky in the walkthrough, it ends up flowing nicely when dancing. The title derived from a friend's cookbook recipe for "A Proper English Trifle". Comments?
