Seth, Alan, and SW;
Thanks for sharing this interesting idea. However, I have a few
comments/questions, assuming I'm reading this correctly.
After walking this through, it appears that all progress CW, not CCW, and also
that all finish away from their original side (which would create a
back-and-forth dance). If so, the fix is either;
A1. Gents allemande L 1 1/2, neighbor swing
A2. Long lines, 1's 1/2 figure 8 above 2's
or;
A1. Circle L 3/4, neighbor swing
A2. R and L through, 1's 1/2 figure 8 above 2's
The timing in B1 looks very tight, in particular the "2nd" corner allemande L
and "head back along the side" in 4 beats. Perhaps a better way to make this
work is 1st corner pull by L instead of allemande L 1 1/2. By the way, the 2's
allemande R 3/4 are with shadows.
For the gents to pass L in B2 the gypsy R is more like 3/4-once around. I'd
prefer a gents pass R to make the partner swing a little longer. Finally,
after the partner swing all face across at the one they gypsied R by to begin
the dance again, so it shouldn't be much to the R and L.
Yours in the folk process -
