Hi Aahz, I wonder at your reasoning. Do you mean for 8-beat musical phrasing? While that's nice, having dancers do something new every 8 beats can leave little room for mistakes. And mistakes happen. ;)
Not a fan of Gene Hubert's A Nice Combination, then? 6-beat circle Left 3/4 to swing in that, too (even shorter if you consider it follows returning up the hall in a line of four, which dancers are likely to get their early when bending the line). Also, most new dancers have trouble doing a do-si-do 1.5x in 8 beats, and while a do-si-do 1x is technically 6 beats in most dances, dances like David Kaynor's The Baby Rose use that extra time to make it flexible for both experienced and newer dancers. (As an aside, it's why I always change DSD 1.5x to next N progressions to Pass-Thru, DSD 1x with Next N).
