Hi Stephanie,
The closest match I have for this is Ames Amble by George Lowrey--his
dance is more complex. I have called many variations on George's dance,
depending on the crowd; I suppose other callers have done the same. It's
possible that you wrote down one of those variations?
Ames Amble is in a collection published by the Champagne Urbana group:
http://www.amazon.com/Midwest-folklore-other-dances-collection/dp/0964840901
I didn't find the details on line, so I'm unsure if it's okay to write
it out here. Perhaps someone from that dance community can advise if
it's okay to share a dance from a book they spent money to produce.
I have the book and have found many excellent dances in it that I use
regularly.
