Tom, I should have been more explicit. Revolving Doors had been covered in this list before... here is some text by Frannie Marr from a few years ago:
Ron Buchanan's "Revolving Door" figure is described well by Rick Mohr. In "Revolving Door", couples start a "wrong side" half promenade where women pass right instead of men passing left. As the women meet they catch right hands and allemande right once around. The men drop out after crossing the set, and partners swing as the women come around. It flows easily and feels good. I often do a floor demo, both because it's unfamiliar and because it's pretty cool to watch. Since the promenade only lasts for a beat or two I think the easiest hold is for neighbors to join left hands, with the man's right arm briefly behind the woman's back. Dances that include that figure are Puttin' Cheese on the Ritz by Ron Buchanan Glenside Promenade by Ron Buchanan Gaye's Groove by Rick Mohr Cup of Joe by Rick Mohr Better Late than Never by Steve Z-A Not a Trip to Vegas by Chris Page My "mod" is that rather than lead into a swing, it blends into that spread action. As for Mad Robin after a Swing, I have several dances with that combination: Cricket's Flight by Don Veino Fiddlers' Fling by Cary Ravitz Mad Robin Landing by Will Mentor Pigtown Pousette by Cary Ravitz & others Robin on a Wire by Will Mentor /Andy On Mon, May 21, 2018 at 4:18 PM, Tom Hinds <[email protected]> wrote: > I like the ending to the revolving door.
