[Callers] Does this dance exist already?

[Winston, Alan P. via Callers]

I don't recall seeing the dip-and-dive-across-the-set figure before 
(choreographically equivalent to right and through), came up with this, 
called it tonight and people seemed to have fun.  I don't think it 
registers as too  gimmicky for hot contra dancers because they get the 
twirls to face back in, and it goes well pretty early in the evening


DIPPING DOTS
Improper contra
Bouncy, jolly (Quebecois, polka?), or smooth and driving.

     1-2: Cross over

Hi, all! I recently wrote this dance and would like to know if it’s already out 
there somewhere and being called by people. As always, your feedback is

it in River Falls and it went well, though he is going to try it with LLF at

Note that the progression happens in A2.
The Petronella into a (right shoulder) Gypsy seems unusual. I don't have
any dances in my collection that do that. Dancing it with a test group
seemed to be fine.

Thoughts?

Re: [Callers] Does this dance exist? / Beginner dances with chain, without star-L prog

[Yoyo Zhou via Callers]

HI Maia,

When doing a ladies chain for the first time, I prefer to call a chain
to neighbor, rather than partner, so that new dancers get an
opportunity to practice courtesy turns with lots of different people
(we've all seen the new couples who can't remember which are the
counterclockwise vs. clockwise turns).

(Of course you can't win 'em all, like new dancers who show up halfway
through the dance.)

Many of Linda's suggestions feature chains to neighbor. Some of my
favorite easy dances with such chains are:

Forgotten Treasure
Beth Parkes
A1: N balance, swing
A2: down the hall, turn as couples
B1: circle left 3/4, P swing
B2: long lines forward and back, ladies chain

Although this has the ladies chain -> next N balance transition which
can even be not easy for experienced dancers, it's generous with
recovery time.

???
Susan Petrick?
A1: N balance, swing
A2: gents allemande left 1+1/2, P swing
B1: long lines forward and back, ladies chain
B2: balance ring, roll away P lady across; balance ring, roll away N
lady up/down

I collected this from Susan Petrick who calls it Missing You, but
she's not sure where she may have got it from. Note how similar it is
to Lavender and Lilac / The Missing Piece.

Made Up Tonight (Which is No Longer True)
Erik Hoffman

A1: N balance, swing
A2: ladies chain over and back
B1: circle left 3/4, P swing
B2: circle left 3/4, balance ring, 2s arch and 1s dive through

And there's Trip to Lambertville by Steve Zakon-Anderson, which can be
made easier with a B1/B2 variation that's apparently common:

A1: ladies walk to long wave, balance; gents walk to long wave, balance
A2: gents allemande left 1/2, balance wave; N swing
B1: circle left 3/4; P swing
B2: long lines forward and back; ladies chain

Re: [Callers] Does this dance exist? / Beginner dances with chain, without star-L prog

[David A Kaynor via Callers]

I have no idea where this dance came from but I have been calling it for around 
25 years:

Untitled, improper

A1:  with Neighbor, balance and swing; end progressed

A2:  Ladies chain

B1:  Ladies pass right shoulders; with Partner, swing

B2:  Circle left 3/4 to original home places; circle balance; pass Neighbor’s 
right shoulder to new Neighbors.

Experienced dancers occasionally complain about the ladies chain following the 
swing being imperfect, but newcomers have never seemed to mind.

That dance is almost Push the Button "by" Rick Mohr except it has Ladies Do
si do instead of Allemande.  There's also Small Potatoes by Jim Kitch.

[Callers] Does this dance exist? / Beginner dances with chain, without star-L prog

[Maia McCormick via Callers]

Wanted a beginners' dance with a chain but without a star-L progression.
Jotted down this one. I find it quite likely that someone has written it
before:

[untitled], imp.
A1: N b
A2: long lines forward & back
ladies chain
B1: ladies alle. R 1x
P swing
B2: circle L 3/4
bal. ring and pass through

So a) has this been written? And b) can folks recommend already-written
dances that meet my criteria?

Cheers,
Maia

Twirl twirl was a typo.  It should just be (california) twirl.

Sounds like Lanny's Back by Erik Weberg (although his website has it as A1
neighbor gypsy and swing, and I've seen it called with neighbor balance and
swing).

Seems like the men mostly stay on one side of the set.
I'm not quite certain what is intended by twirl twirl

There is a similar dance which I heard Kathy Anderson call, which is I think is 
much better.
I don;t remember the name, but it goes like this (improper)
          Circle left, Neighbors swing         Circle left 3 places, partners 
swing
         Circle balance, women exchange places;   Circle balance, men exchange 
places
         Circle balance, shift and spin right one place;   Circle balance, 
California twirl

No, it's not the Love Shack.  This is a new dance which I "dreamed".  It
doesn't have a name yet.

I also note that I have partner twirl twirl.  This is not a new move,
it's a typo by me.  Should be partner twirl.

No, it's not the Love Shack.  This is a new dance which I "dreamed".  It
doesn't have a name yet.

I also note that I have partner twirl twirl.  This is not a new move,
it's a typo by me.  Should be partner twirl.
