DANCE AUTHOR NOTES
(http://www.kluberg.com/eriksdances.ht...
"At the end of A1 if there is space and inclination, the women have a great opportunity to spin twice on their way across the set to meet their partners.

"I wrote this dance back around 2006 to go with the tune Evil Diane by Sam Bartlett. I got Sam's permission to use a take off from his tune name. Sam was intrigued by the mythology/story of the dance. Duane was Diane's high school boyfriend. It didn't work out; Duane cheated on Diane halfway through the dance. After one last "rollaway" (ahem...) they broke it off and went on to the next. But do we ever really learn from these experiences? Apparently not. We seek pleasure wherever there's a great tune to dance to.

"My intent has been to call this dance when the tune Evil Diane is available in the band's repertoire. My hope is that you enjoy it in the same way. Any similarity to actual Dianes or Duanes is strictly coincidental."

REMARKS: The Spanish Ballroom is a superb dance venue. Built in 1933 and restored in 2003, the art deco style ballroom has a wonderfully live, 7700 SF maple floor which can easily handle 6 lines of contradancers.

This was the 1st contradance in the 2nd set. There were 4 lines of dancers before and 3 after the break. We're getting into the summer season now, you can see by all the shorts being worn by the men...
