It makes for a nice combo. Percuss for eight, then graceful glide for eight.

So after Resham-ka-ing past eachother, we turn left to face eachother on the eight, EB past eachother turn to face eachother on the 8, and repeat if necesary. I also like to go from here into pick-ups spins. Or Resham-ka around yourself then pick-ups spins. It seems like whatever works for your group specifically would be best.

I don't know if there is a specific breakdown for two pairs (dueling duets)...I would guess you would pre-set that part of it before you take the stage.

I'm unclear on the formation. Does it start with Pair 1 & Pair 2 facing each other across the dance area, so that they start the move by scooting forward to pass each other, EB+ half turn and repeat back to starting position, like this? (L1 & L2 are Leaders 1 & 2, and the audience is at far left, so the crossing is back-and-forth across the stage) o L2 /|\ | o | | /|\ | | | | | | \|/ | | o | \|/ L1 o Or does Pair 1 face each other and dance as a self-contained unit, and Pair 2 does the same? o-----------> <------------o L2 L1 o------------> <--------------o Thu, 21 May 2009 19:22:35 GMT http://ATS.tribe.net/thread/d70e2652-5419-4b42-94e3-aa677927df0d#4d38fcf0-0a66-4db0-8aef-5247e105a1e5 Margaret 2009-05-21T19:22:35Z http://ATS.tribe.net/thread/d70e2652-5419-4b42-94e3-aa677927df0d#174f541a-2d78-4753-a704-01ae4f4c1acd it should be straight forward, similar to a choo-choo.

When doing Resham-ka, what direction do you travel? I find I often move forward on a diagonal forward angle to the right. Should it be straight forward? Does it matter, since you'd be following the leader anyhow?

Right at the beginning of the clip (the camera cut out when we started moving forward for Resham-ka) is us just cueing the move before turning.

Gosh, thanks! <grins> My hair gets frizzy and my head get fuzzy all too often! I have tried it both ways at class this week, and it works both ways, but the “go right into duel again” is one that is going to take time. First for everyone to learn/master the Resham-k, with zils, and then catching the super fast drop down to hip level of the arms. But yes, it would look sharp once done right!! Would love to see a clip of you doing it Val (hint, hint….) I know I have notes on this one from TribalCon, but I still haven’t unpacked everything since we moved to Alaska!

I do. I think it looks sharp to come out of the turn and drop right down into the Resham-ka again.

So, it's kind of an elusive mystery right now :) Sat, 16 May 2009 03:04:59 GMT http://ATS.tribe.net/thread/d70e2652-5419-4b42-94e3-aa677927df0d#9046dd91-0e2e-4969-b344-50934c679efa Leslie 2009-05-16T03:04:59Z http://ATS.tribe.net/thread/d70e2652-5419-4b42-94e3-aa677927df0d#78e37f6d-ac1b-49d4-8ea1-888e79de262a Hello, I have a question about the “Dueling Resham-ka w/ Egyptian Basic (E.B.)” - I learned this step and how to use it as a dueling duet at TribalCon from Megha (I do remember this!) and would like to add it to my regular vocabulary but I feel like I am missing something. For the dueling part, you face your partner and the leader queues the Resham-ka which is used to pass each other. Then 4 counts of E.B flat (back to partner), queue for the ½ turn of the E>B (even though your partner cannot see you, which bring you back to facing your partner. If you are done dueling, easy peasy, you use a transition step to circle or someone just takes the lead. But, if you want to duel again, this is where I get fuzzy… Do you go right into the Duel again? Or, if you want to Duel again, do you use an 8 count transition before doing the Resham-ka to pass your partner? The latter is what we did and felt more natural to get hands at hip height for the Resham-ka, but perhaps I am just fighting the past 4 years of my own habits of not going for over head arms (E.B) to hip height arms. Your advice is appreciated!! Sat, 16 May 2009 00:14:55 GMT http://ATS.tribe.net/thread/d70e2652-5419-4b42-94e3-aa677927df0d#78e37f6d-ac1b-49d4-8ea1-888e79de262a Just Joyce 2009-05-16T00:14:55Z
