Hmmm. I didn't see the original request.My go to is Coconut Cream Pie.It doesn't matter who goes in the stars, since you swing partner after them.

Maybe the people on this list just don't like 4-face-4 dances. So I decided to write one It has the obligatory two swings! And the bonus points! Allison's Favorite (or if you don't like the title, Allison, I'm happy to change it). I suggest 32-bar jigs because of all that balancing. A1: Lines of four forward and back. Left-hand people (of each couple) make a left-hand star: balance in and out; star half-way. A2: Meet the one diagonally across from you, balance and swing - finish on the usual side, facing into the set. B1: Right-hand people make a right-hand star: balance in and out; star half-way. Swing partner and face into the set. B2: Join hands in a ring of 8: go in to the middle and back (with suitable noises). Balance the ring; California twirl partner to face a new line. As usually happens in a double contra, you stay with the other couple in your own line but alternate ends. For the partner swing, the left-hand people need to move forward and to the left as your partner approaches. When you're out at the ends you can do the figure as a two-couple set. Just make sure that the final California twirl leaves you facing the approaching line of four.
