I wrote a couple dances to fill gaps in the program at this evening's Pittsburgh dance, and they both went quite well. But since they were inspired by a number of other dances there's a good chance they already exist. Anybody recognize either of these?
Dance A Becket (ccw) A1: (8) Long lines forward; on the way back, men roll partner away (8) Pass through across. Each person turns 1/4 to their right and everyone walk single file around the set to the next neighbors A2: (8) Right hand star once around with new neighbors (hands across) (8) Gents drop out, Women allemande right 1 1/2 B1: (16) Balance and swing neighbor B2: (8) Men allemande left 1 1/2 (8) Swing partner Note: The single file promenade flows nicely into the hands across star if the gents take right hand as they pass each other and the women fall in behind them. Dance B Becket (cw) A1: (8) Long lines forward and back (8) Right and left through A2: (8) Circle left 3/4 (8) Neighbor swing B1: (8) Ladies chain on the left diagonal (to shadow) (8) Give right hands to the person across the set, balance, pull by right. Pull by shadow left. [like a piece of an interrupted square through] B2: (16) Balance and swing partner Thanks, Bronwyn
