Re: [Callers] Is this a dance already?

[Rich Goss]

Nice dance. One very minor point:  my understanding is that a Yearn is past two 
couples. Toward the first on the left then as you back away you are across from 
the second couple along the line. At least the original dance with yearn did 
that reasoning that as you pass that first couple you "yearn" to dance with 
them (but you don't). 

I really do like your dance though.

[Callers] Is this a dance already?

[Alan Winston - SSRL Central Computing]

(I was thinking about driving minor-key jigs in English dancing, where there
are only a few that really have a sense of headlong motion, and I ended up
drafting a contra dance to to show what I was talking about.  Then I thought
about calling the dance and had to rejigger it a bunch to provide things like a
recovery point, etc.  Now it has less obvious novelty than it did, is probably
danceable - but I don't know that it's unique.  Anybody recognize the
sequence?)

Thanks!
