Re: [Callers] dances in unusual formations

Donna, Levi Jackson Rag, for 10. Becoming a local favorite when numbers permit. One I really like is David's Triplet #5 by David Smuckler. (It has a hey for 6, or do it w/ hands to introduce a grand R & L). Nice dance. Another quirky one that is a hybrid contra/square is Square Line Special

Mark, Hi! It seems the dance should work, but I do notice one quirk. It looks to be a becket R dance (in terms of progressing direction). So starting out in DI means the first star is shorter for the ladies than it would be (one full time around) once you swing your P in the B-2. Michael,
