Jim, your dance strikes me as a rather unique combination of moves, and I would be surprised if it had already been written. It looks like it has nice flow, have you called it to live dancers yet?

Mark Widmer

p.s. I notice it could also start at B1 (as a duple improper dance that progresses in the expected place), or at A2 (as a Becket dance that ends with a partner swing).

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.

Thanks, Jim Hemphill
