Dr Brown's Prescription

By David Kirchner

Dr Brown is one of the DC area's better-known dancers.

A1

• Ladies allemande right 1 1/2 and swing partner

A2

• Gents allemande left once and a little bit
• Allemande right trail buddy (the same person throughout the dance) once and a little bit
• Allemande left partner

B1

• Ladies balance and swing in the center of the set; turn out from the swing to face partner

B2

• Left shoulder gypsy partner once
• Ladies chain across

David notes: "The trail buddy is on the gent's left and the lady's right at the end of the partner swing. The gypsy in B2 is barely once around, but takes up a full eight counts; it should be danced slowly and sensuously. The transition from B2 to A1 is unusual, but most intermediate dancers manage it without difficulty."
