"The Wheel" has been a favorite of mine since 1994. Around here some call
it "Wheel of Misfortune" -- hilarious! (i.e. who will the fates deliver
unto you for a swing?)
I could never find it in my Gene Hubert books -- apparently because it was
published in his first collection "Dizzy Dances" (
Some dances require skill to make the timing work — like starting a figure
with dispatch so a later balance will be on time, or doing a figure
