Thanks, Gary, but I was asking about the progression in "Mad Masquerade" not 
in Tom's dance.

The swing puts the men on the left. The chain puts the women on the correct
side.

Just circle with the next.

Tom,

Let us know when you name this dance. I like it and have already written in 
on a card; need only a title before I file it.


Jane,

I may be having a brain blip, but I don't see the progression in Mad 
Masquerade and I can't find the dance with a web search.

I just wrote a dance and wanted to know if it's unique.  I'm pretty
sure the A1 is borrowed from another dance.


D-imp
A1 Circle left.  Mad Robin (face partner and do-si-do neighbor).

A2 Hey, women pass left shoulders

B1 Women pass left shoulders and swing partner

B2 Ladies chain, forward and back.


Tom

Tom -  Manhattan Chowder and Mad Masquerade both start similar - the latter 
being most similar.

It is in Becket as follows:
A1 Cir lf 3, Mad Robin
A2 1/2 Hey, N gyp Rt 1x
B1 L Gyp Lf 1 1/2x .  Half Hey (pass P Rt to start)
B2 P B

Here's the dance I tend to pull out when I desperately need a successful

Barbarella (Tom Thoreau)
Becket
A1.  \(16) Bal ring / Petronella twirl (2x)
A2.  \(16) Bal ring / Petronella twirl (2x)
B1.  \(16) P bal & sw
B2.  \( 8) Pass thru (across), CA twirl
..   \( 8) Cir lf 1/2, slide lf one cpl


   Here's a similar dance with a neighbor swing instead of a partner swing.

Brainstorm
Scott Miller & Jonathan Sivier
duple improper; beginner-intermediate

1-2 Petronella balance and twirl twice
3-4 Repeat
5-6 Balance the circle one more time and swing
neighbors
7-8 Hey for 4, women start by passing right shoulders,
end facing original direction ready to balance
with a new couple

*B1:* petronella 2x

*B2:* petronella; balance and pass through

(note: when calling this dance, you must explain the title. The A section
comes from a dance that Steve wrote while calling with... some fish-themed
band, I don't remember, and it was called "Salmon 'Chanted Evening." And of
course, when you talk the first half of "Salmon 'Chanted Evening" and add
"Petronella" you get...)

came up with this dance in 1998. I have called it "Old Time Elixir #2.
