Hey all, I've felt like most box circulate dances use the circulate as a buildup into a swing with *someone*. Looking at http://www.contra.dance/thecallersbox, there are only 12 results for dances with a circulate that isn't followed by a swing and 9 of those results don't include their choreography (grumble grumble), so I can't actually confirm that they belong in the result set.
I feel like there's a lot of potential for dances that have box circulates followed by something other than a swing. Here are a few I've been messing with: *Peace Is Still the Way* Becket A1 (8) Pass the ocean, balance the wave (6) Ladies allemande left 1.5x while gents orbit cw halfway (2) Partner allemande right 1/4 to long waves, gents in A2 (8) Long waves balance & circulate (gents cross, ladies loop) (8) Long waves balance & circulate - ladies catch RH as they cross, scoop up partner B1 (6) Ladies star promenade right 3/4, next gents catch left (6) Gents star promenade left 3/4 (4) Partner butterfly whirl B2 (6) Ladies dosido (10) Partner swing *Snowbirds* Becket A1 (8) Ladies half hey passing right (4) Ladies chain (4) Gents courtesy turn, roll lady away R to L into long waves (gents in)** A2 (8) Long waves balance & circulate (gents cross, ladies loop) (8) Long waves balance & circulate (ladies cross, gents loop) B1 (8) Mad robin CW, gents in front (8) Circle left 3/4 (better as a chase with eye contact, rather than hands) B2 (16) Partner meltdown swing I'm interested in what people think and also any other dances folks have with different moves following a circulate (other than waves balance + Rory because honestly who are we fooling).
