| B2 | (6) Right and left through (with a courtesy turn!) (2) Roll away with a half sashay (8) Gents help the ladies into a right hand star 3/4 (gents follow partners) |
Author's Notes:
The roll away with a half sashay is most satisfying when it follows a courtesy turn. Dance might have been called Bye, Bye Balto'more. Introduced at Lovely Lane just before my move to North Carolina in August, 1991.
Editor's Notes:
In B2 I prefer taking a full 8 counts for the right and left through followed by 2 counts for the roll away and 6 for the 3/4 star.
This dance is from American Country Dances On Line
