Re: [Callers] Dance title?

[Linda Leslie]

Yes, the dance the Paul has shared is by Robert Cromartie.
I often will change the A1 of  a Becket dance from circle left 3/4  
pass thru, new N swing
TO (at the end of the B2 P swing) Look on the left diagonal and find  
the next Ns, Circle L 3/4, N swing
I find the circle and pass thru to take more than 8 beats usually,  
which makes for a very short N swing; so the variation means the N  
swing is a bit longer. Of course, for some situations, such as this  
dance, perhaps less time swinging is preferable.

Here is a dance I collected a few years ago - but the caller did not
mention the name or author.  Without that info - I haven't called

even thought I really like the dance.

Ladies chain to balance & swing works if it's done like this:   ladies join 
right hands for a ladies chain, pull by to give left hand to your partner's 
left hand, partner courtesy turns his lady, keep left hands together for a 
left-hand-balance to swing.  

As ever, the teaching is all, imho.
