Here's a similar dance with a neighbor swing instead of a partner swing.
Brainstorm
Scott Miller & Jonathan Sivier
duple improper; beginner-intermediate
1-2 Petronella balance and twirl twice
3-4 Repeat
5-6 Balance the circle one more time and swing
neighbors
7-8 Hey for 4, women start by passing right shoulders,
end facing original direction ready to balance
with a new couple
