Most folks call this “opposite by the right”, but we call it The Wendy, in honor of our friend Wendy Brumbaugh, a musician and dancer from Shelby County, MO who, along with her dad, Wendell, calls this dance often.
Notes:
- Your opposite is the dancer directly across the set from you (usually dancing as the other gender). So, if you are gent #1, lady #3 is your opposite.
- This is a progressive dance, meaning that each time through the figure, you’ll be dancing with a new partner.
- Couples one and three are head couples.
- Couples two and four are side couples.
