Choreography by:<\/span> Rick Mohr, New England, August 1986
\nUsage:<\/span> Summer dances in New Haven Connecticut are held in the beautifully rough-hewn Eli Whitney Barn, which has a long narrow space next to (and about five inches below!) a shorter space. It’s perfect for longways sets but dismal for circles, so in need of a mixer I wrote this “scatter promenade” dance. It has turned out to be a reliable crowd pleaser; the chaos factor from the scattering is great for loosening people up early in the evening. <\/p>\n
