Five Bridges To My Home by Pat Garrett
#16 count intro, start on vocals
Styling: Lines should consist of 5 dancers each (to fit in with “5 Bridges” theme) all facing front at the start. During intro music raise both arms to shoulder level, elbows bent, and hold hand (or touch palm-to-palm) of person next to you on each side (thereby forming one long “bridge”). Hold this position from count 1 to 16. On count 17 let go the hands and drop arms loosely by your side, keeping them there from count 18 to 32. Raise arms and hold hands again on count 1 of the next wall, at which stage you’ll have “changed partners” due to the ¼ turn.
