OK one more and I'm done....for now. I wrote this dance a while back

"Stars in our Eyes" becket, double progression

A1      On the left diagonal, lines go forward and back  (face a new couple)
        Ladies chain
A2      Star left once around, look for a new neighbor and swing
B1 Gents alle left 1 and 1/2, pick up your pt. for a star promenade and a butterfly twirl
B2      Ladies gypsy
        Pt. swing

Jo Mortland and I turned this one into a crooked contra ( I guess you call it that....one with a C part)

"48 Stars"

A1-B1   Same as above
B2      Hey for 4
C1      Pt. balance and swing
C2      Long lines F&B
        Circle left once around

If any of you try either of these let me know (and Jo too) what you think.

Thanks!

I know this has been covered before (I've searched the archives) but I figured others might want new ideas for programming dances for this weekend.

I'm calling a dance on Saturday 2/13 with a Valentine's Day theme.
Thus far, I've come up with the following ideas (not in program order yet)

Bob's Valentine - Chris Ricciotti
Gypsy 'Round Two - Tom Hinds
Pam's Clock-wise Valentine (2.5) - Seth Tepfer
Love Sting - Rick Mohr
Heart of Glass  - Cary Ravitz
Spring Dance Romance - Dean Snipes
The Tease - Tom Hinds

Also thinking about:

The Country of Marriage - Susan Kevra
The Rendezvous - Dan Pearl
Caught in the Act - Donna McAllister
The Valentine's Day Massacre - Colin Hume (circle mixer, not sure about the clap "massacre" progression)

Other ideas? Any dances with titles including "cupid" "arrow" or "chocolate"?

I keep finding dances that are heavy on gypsy's, unequal, or have lines of 4 down the hall and I don't want to make my program too heavy on any of those.

Also, I've had a request (from the band) for a dance that begins A1 with Petronella-style balance and spins. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks!
