Montana and Mochila with Peter

April 18, 2005

Enchufe (no partner change)
1,2,3 exchange places with partner with L hand above partner’s forehead and turning clockwise 180 on 3 (partner turns counterclockwise)
5,6,7 accomodating (back and in place works pretty well while pushing (hardly) on 5 and pulling slightly on 6,7 worked well for me)
1,2,3,5,6,7 Dile que no
Vacilara
1,2,3 Pimienta like steps with L-R hold and lead partner across on 2,3 to slightly overtake me

1,2,3,5,6,7 Dile que no
Montana (mountain)
1,2,3 Pimienta like steps with crossed hold with R-R on top

1,2,3 two-handed enchufe start
5,6,7 hook turn
1,2,3 two-handed enchufe start
5,6,7 continue walking clockwise to get to proper Dile que no start position and give self and partner hat simultaneously

5,6,7 accomodating-like step and give partner and self hat simultaneously

Excellent. After a dearth of interesting new moves recently, Montana and Mochila goes into my repertoire more or less instantly with minor changes to the starting point (similar treatment done as Sombrero).
