BRANICULA: Jameko

[@thomaskurth8335]

Very interesting: the progression is only in the first verse of the double-verse ;-)

I am not an expert but usually the dances have only one progression. That can happen any time during the repeat of dance moves. In this it happens early.

@@branicula Its a good way to dance both dance-verses of Jamaica ( A and B) with the own neighbor-couple of the set. Before I have seen your clip, I have danced Jamaica only with the progression in both verses (in B its the two-hand-turn once and a half with the neighbor at the side). The original Description from Playford in 1670 shows progressions in both verses.

@@thomaskurth8335 yes, we have adapted this a bit. I think that if you do progression in both A and B-parts you do first the A-part all the way down the set and then the B-part all the way down?
