Re: [Callers] Who’s in the middle?
Thanks! I want more dances in my box that familiarize folks with dancing with all the people even if they aren’t expecting it, but to have that built into the dance. So this is for dance communities that don’t have a lot of swapping and aren’t as skilled overall. So on the simpler side (but not boring). So things like roger Diggle’s who’s in the middle or simple right handed gents chain dances that get folks to do things outside their “normal”, but are still pretty easy so they experience success with it. Thanks for all the suggestions so far! The harder ones are god too though, just for a slightly different purpose.

Re: [Callers] Who’s in the middle?
Do you specifically want folks in the middle of short line? Or would a long line at the sides work as well? Erik Hoffman's Missing Duck sets up a long lines Rory O'More with a partner allemande. If folks over or under allemande that, then the other person is facing in and starts the hey. It all resolves with the partner balance and swing on the other side Other partner Rory O'More dances would probably behave similarly, although it might not be as smooth to set up the swap as allemande +/- an extra 1/2.

Hi Alex and All: This may or not be what you're asking for, but the following role-free contra was written where any dancer can be at any position in the wave. I learned in writing this that it was too difficult for me to include a neighbor swing, keep it role-free, and have all stay with their partner - Bob Make No Assumptions Becket-L, role-free A1. 8 Long lines forward and back 8 Circle L ¾ and pass through A2. 8 N2 dosido 1¼ to wave/4 (1) 4,4 Balance, N2 allemande R B1. 16Hey (CL, PR, OL, N2R) B2. 4 Centers pass L 12Partner swing Written on April 11, 2014, and first called on April 23, 2014 at Princeton, NJ. Written at the suggestion of Paul Sawyer of Massachusetts, who was interested in role-free dances. (1) – With centers (C) taking L hands in the center and outsides (O) taking R hands on the side.
