Re: [Callers] Identify some dances

Thanks, all. I've found that the first dance (? 1), as I noted it, isn't in
any of your collections, because it doesn't work:

 I think you meant that the original has a give and take (to the gent's
side) in A1.

Both of these other dances put dancers on a different side from ? 1 the
next time around, which means that ? 1 puts dancers on the wrong side. So I
definitely have a transcription error. (The other clue is that I originally
noted down "ladies allemande right while gents orbit" but decided that
"right" must've been wrong.)

?1 is a very slight variation on The Equal Turn by Tom Hinds. In Tom's  
dance the B1/ B2 is:

B1 Circle left 3/4, pass thru, Women allemande left 1 1/2
B2 P B & S

Dear callers,

Like many of you, I've collected a few dances whose titles and  
authors I
don't know. Since I always find it interesting to read when other  
people
post their unidentified dances, I thought I'd reciprocate. I've  
included

the name of the caller who called them, if that helps. Does anyone
recognize these?

(Transcription errors are always possible; corrections are welcome.)

? 1 (from Warren Blier)
becket
A1 gents allemande L 1+1/2
neighbor swing
A2 right and left thru
ladies chain
B1 circle left 3/4, pass thru up/down
next ladies allemande L 1 while gents orbit 1/2
B2 partner balance, swing

? 2 (from Lisa Greenleaf)
improper
A1 square thru 2 up/down ((new) neighbor R, partner L)
this neighbor swing
A2 long lines
ladies allemande R 1+1/2
B1 partner balance, swing
B2 ladies chain
square thru 2 across (partner R, this neighbor L)

? 3 (from Lisa Greenleaf; the author is from Denmark)
becket
A1 circle left 3/4, pass thru
next neighbor swing
A2 long lines
pass thru to wave (no balance), swing thru
B1 full hey, pass partner R
B2 partner gypsy, swing
(In the swing thru, it can flow better if gents just pass left  
instead of

allemanding left 1/2.)

? 4 (from George Marshall)
improper
A1 ladies walk forward to long wave, balance
ladies allemande R 1/2, balance wave
A2 gents walk forward to long wave as ladies back up, balance
gents allemande L 1/2, balance wave
B1 gents walk forward, partner gypsy, swing
B2 circle left 3/4; neighbor swing

? 5 (from Bob Isaacs, who I think is also the author)
becket
A1 circle left 3/4, pass thru to new neighbor
single file promenade the set up/down (gents outside, ladies  
inside)

A2 turn over right shoulder and promenade back (ladies outside, gents
inside)
neighbor swing
B1 long lines
ladies allemande R 1+1/2
B2 partner balance, swing
(The tricky part is remembering who your new neighbor was.)

? 6 (from Mary Wesley)
becket
A1 slide left to new neighbors, ladies allemande R 1+1/2
neighbor swing
A2 long lines
gents allemande L 1+1/2, fall back into a ring
B1 balance ring, petronella turn
balance ring, petronella turn
B2 partner balance, swing
(Ladies should make sure to catch gents spinning out of the  
allemande to

form a ring.)

Thanks,
Yoyo Zhou
