~ Jingle Bell Mixer ~
Jingle Bell MIXER -- No. 1 We will only be dancing this version, No.1
Starting Formation: Couples in a circle facing LOD with skaters hand-hold.
Choreo:
1. VERSE: "Dashing through the snow" sequence.
- Walk 32.
2. REFRAIN: "Jingle bell" sequence.
- 2A. Patty Cake: Right, Right, Right. Left, Left Left. Both, Both, Both, Both, Both.
- 2B. Two-hand turn half-way around CLOCK-WISE
- 2C. Same as 2A. Patty Cake: Right 3x. Left 3x. Both 5x.
- 2D. Same as 2B, but with Progression. Two-hand turn around as Lady progress RLOD.
Helpful HINTS: Dancers in the video sample were not all turning CLOCK-WISE.
Turning in that direction is same as the elbow turn in Patty Cake Polka.
The progression of outside dancer moving to new partner RLOD is same
as progression in Patty Cake Polka.

This version is slightly more complicated

This one is not as fun, and also may not be worth learning for the sake of limited
occasion to dance once a year.
Jingle Bell MIXER -- No. 3
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This one has a slightly complicated Patty Cake progression since the dancers are to
mix with the person across at diagonal right.
