Dave, Andrea,and Yoyo, My apologies, you are absolutely correct. I somehow confused "Boys from Urbana" with another dance. The two dances are very similar, and the untitled dance could easily be considered a variation of "Boys from Urbana". Rich Sbardella On Fri, Oct 7, 2016 at 6:43 PM, Dave

I agree with Andrea and Yoyo that this dance is very similar to Boys from Urbana, enough certainly to qualify as a variation of the same dance. Literally the only difference is that there's a 1/2 gents allemenade after the progression in Boys from Urbana. And this one starts at a different spot

Yoyo, I do not consider this dance and Boys from Urbana variations of the same dance. I would have no trouble calling this dance to start off an evening, but Urbana is much more difficult. Where are your concerns with timing and flow? The only difference I see is that there are 8 beats available

I don't understand the point of "Gents wait for them" in the note. Seems to me that just puts the guys in the way of the ladies' allemande. Instead I'd expect that gents back out while ladies go forward would make for better flow.
