Pacific Rim

Choreography is writing on your feet.

Bob Fosse

B1 1-4 While tops (1s) BIG cast to 2nd places (up and around, heart-shape path),

middles (2s) wait 1 measure, meet and face down, then fall back up the set to top place (end facing each other),

bottoms (3s) wait 2 measures, then meet and mirror turn single downward (making sure to fully complete the turn single).

5-8 While bottoms (3s) gate the middles (1s) down 1x, the tops (2s) set R&L moving backward and mirror turn single upward.

A1 1-4 Partners L-sh swirly siding over and back.

5-8 While long 2nd corners cast over R-sh to orbit CW halfway to change places, the other 4 RH star 1x (long 1st corners spiraling in).

6/8 3C LW

Tune: "Fog Rolling Over the Glen" by David Grier (1988)

NOTES:

Tempo should be as brisk as everyone can comfortably take it.

A1/A2 5-8: The RH Star is essentially 2 overlapping RH turns. 2s use the first beat of these measures to meet and join hands C, giving the long 1st corners time and space to start circling toward the middle (2s) places on the opposite file (on their own right diagonals) before joining hands. 2s RH turn all the way to finish in original places. Long 1st corners RH turn ½-way, then drop hands and continue circling to finish in original places.

Repeat from bottom:

B2 1-4 While bottoms (3s) BIG cast to 2nd places (down and around, heart-shape path),

middles (1s) wait 1 measure, meet and face up, then fall back down the set to bottom place (end facing each other),

tops (2s) wait 2 measures, then meet and mirror turn single upward (making sure to fully complete the turn single).

5-8 While tops (2s) gate the middles (3s) up 1x, the bottoms (1s) set R&L moving backward and mirror turn single downward..

A2 1-4 Opposite R-sh swirly siding over and back.

5-8 While long 2nd corners (same people as before) cast over R shoulder to orbit CW halfway to change places, the other 4 RH star 1x (long 1st corners spiraling in).
