[Callers] Does this dance exist already?

[Winston, Alan P. via Callers]

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

[Callers] Does This Dance Exist Already?

[Jerome Grisanti via Callers]

In 2015 I wrote (and called) a dance that may already exist; if it's unique
I'm sure it's only slightly so. Wondering if anyone knows of this sequence
(or very similar one) under a different title.

Thanks!
