Mark Goodwin's written an interesting one called "Playground." I think he posted it to trad-dance-callers. Martha Wild's written several dances in this vein. I've written one, working with using the momentum of the ricochet. (And having the other person help direct it.) Double Cat Bounce by Chris Page Improper A1 Neighbor balance Neighbor swing A2 Half ricochet hey (ML, PR, W ricochet) Partner swing [*1] B1 Ladies chain Half ricochet hey (WR, NL, M ricochet) [*2] B2 Circle right 3/4 Neighbor allemande left 1 & 1/2 [* 1] While it's possible and nifty for the man to scoop up his partner into the swing, the woman needs to be aware of her left elbow and arm, specifically the location of her elbow relative to her partner's jawbone. [* 2] After looping around, women assist their partners into a circle right. -Chris Page San Diego
