Reversing Falls

By Rick Mohr; January 2000

Sicilian Circle Caller's Box

A1:

Ones gallop around the circle clockwise, passing between their neighbors and then other twos (8)

Ones reverse direction, galloping back to place (8)

A2:

Twos gallop around the circle counterclockwise, passing between their neighbors and then other ones (8)

Twos reverse direction, galloping back to place (8)

B1:

Dosido neighbor (8)

Balance the ring (4)

Pass through (4)

B2:

Circle left with new neighbors (8)

Balance the ring (4)

Twos let go and take a step back as all count out loud "One, Two, Three, Go!" (4)

This dance uses the great A parts from the dance "Pyewacket Gallop" with B parts that give a solid transition and progression.

Named for the famous Reversing Falls in Saint John, New Brunswick, where the water rushes one way and then the other as the tide changes.
