How many dances do people know of that were independently written by persons? I know of two such pairs.
(1) Jim Kitch and Al Olson independently wrote the following sequence: Improper A1 Alm left N 1 1/2 and swing a 2nd (new) neighbor A2 Alm left a 3rd N once, pass right shoulders with the one you swung, and swing your original N The two dances had the same B1 (I don't remember if it's W alm L 1 1/2 an partners swing or Circle Left 3/4 and partners swing) But the two dances differ only in the B2. Al Olson's version is called "The Empty Crack." I do not recall the name of Jim's version (2) Mark Richardson from Bloomington IN and someone (in California I think) independently wrote the same dance. I do not recall the name or sequence of either.

I just wrote a dance and wanted to know if it's unique. I'm pretty sure the A1 is borrowed from another dance. D-imp A1 Circle left. Mad Robin (face partner and do-si-do neighbor). A2 Hey, women pass left shoulders B1 Women pass left shoulders and swing partner B2 Ladies chain, forward and back.
