Hi Maia: If you're looking for something new, this was just written at the Labor Day Dance Away.

Re: [Callers] Multiple N swings / does this dance exist?
The biggest caution I'd say is that 2 Neighbor swing has a higher chance of too-much-clockwise. I saw four dances in these suggestions with 40 beats of clockwise rotation for at least one of the roles, which is right around the threshold where people are getting dizzy but not quite noticing it. I've got some in my box at home - I'll try and dig some out and forward them. I second "Cheat Lake Gypsies" - that ones in my box and a definite good dance!

Re: [Callers] Multiple N swings / does this dance exist?
Howdy Maia! "Cheat Lake Gypsies" sprung to mind. I think I had it down as a Cary Ravitz dance, but on his website, it looks like it was done collaboratively by a group of folks at a dance weekend. Of course, the other annoying thing about this dance is that the title includes the G-word. I trust you'll handle that in some way that feels appropriate for you and your audience. :) Cheat Lake Gypsies Becket CCW A1 - Take hands in a ring and balance (4). - Ladies gypsy 1/2 (4). - Neighbors swing (8). A2 - Neighbors promenade around the full set (oval), counter-clockwise (6). - Ladies turn back to find a new neighbor (2). - (New) neighbors swing (8). B1 - Take hands with the full set and circle left (8). - Keep your neighbor and look for your partner to circle left 3/4 (8). B2 - Partners gypsy and swing (16).
