The version I have, which I learned from David Kaynor, has a balance in the old wavy line before stepping forward to the new wavy line. The call I use is something like "Flatten the circle to a wavy line and balance." It fits fine into the music, with no extra notes to eat up.

Hi callers,

I am preparing to call Paul Balliet’s contra “Summer Sunshine” and I have a
timing question about the B2.  I have copied the entire dance as I have it
below.  My question is this:  It seems that 8 counts of music is too much
for walking from one wavy line to another.  (I believe that I have other,
more modern dances to be sure, that do this in 4).  What would you think of
adding a balance there with the old neighbors before walking forward to the
new neighbors’ wavy line and balancing with them?

Here is the dance as I have it:

(Start in a wavy line of 4, across the set, 1s facing down, 2s facing up)

A1

Balance the wave (once - twice might be fun)

Neighbor Swing

A2

Ladies chain over and back

B1

Circle left ¾

Partner Swing

B2

Circle left ¾ more to a wavy line [no balance in this version]

Walk forward to a new wavy line with new neighbors.

Thanks in advance for your comments

Rickey Holt,

Fremont, NH
