I don't recall seeing the dip-and-dive-across-the-set figure before (choreographically equivalent to right and through), came up with this, called it tonight and people seemed to have fun. I don't think it registers as too gimmicky for hot contra dancers because they get the twirls to face back in, and it goes well pretty early in the evening
