Author's Notes:
Both the star promenade and roll away with half sashay are square dance figures. Bob Dalsemer and Dan Pearl have used these figures before in contras. I was actually quite subversive about the design of this dance (the trend at the time being toward lots of individual movement), there is almost continuous eye contact and connection with other dancers throughout the figures and I think this is the reason you all like it too.
This dance is from American Country Dances On Line
