Hi Jim,
I like your dance. I've not seen it before (but I don't have that large
a collection). B2b is a nice replacement for LC as it makes a nicer
transition to A1. For my dance here, with lots of older dancers who get
a bit dizzy, I would be careful with it, as it has 24 consecutive beats
clockwise
in the beginning. Did you realize your dance is a double progression?
Cheers, Bill

I'm fairly new to Calling and fascinated with Contra dance choreography.
Below is my attempt at a Groundhog day dance. The groundhog starts his
day by looking for his shadow and so does this dance.
Groundhog Daze Becket
A1 Gypsy your shadow
Partner swing
A2 Circle left 3 places
Balance the circle, 1's make an arch, 2's dive thru
B1 Next neighbor balance and swing
B2 Long lines forward and back
Ladies allemande right 1/2, partner allemande left 3/4
I know there are thousands of dances out there so if this is not an
original, please let me know the true name.
