West River Party

West River Party
Adam Åstmar (SWE) & Malene Jakobsen (DK) - September 2024
Counts: 32 Walls:2 Level: Beginner - Fun Dance

Intro: 40 counts from start of track, approx. 18 seconds.

Info: Restarts occur on wall 4 facing 6'00 and wall 8 facing 12'00. Tag occur after wall 10 facing 12'00.

Special note:
This dance can be danced contra to spice it up a bit extra! Important to note is that in section 3, when touching and clapping on count 4, you should be in line with the opposite side. That means that you instead of your own hands, clap the hands of the dancers you're passing.

Start the contra facing another dancer on the opposite side. This dancer is now your partner. When you're passing each other, you will always have your partner to the left of you. On count 4, you clap your L hand with your partner and your R hand with the passing dancer to the right of you. For count 8 you clap as normal.
Good luck! :)
