Called Bob's "Return 2 Sender" this past Thursday at Mt. Airy, PA -- what a good dance!! On Mon, May 9, 2016 at 6:37 PM, Bob Isaacs via Callers < callers@lists.sharedweight.net> wrote: > Hi All: > > As Luke noted, there are two dances with similar names. The first is: > > Return to Sender >

Re: [Callers] New (?) dance, B1 balance, B2 balance and partner swing

I was trying to come up with a dance last night that fit different parameters (full hey, no chain, and more balances), but it ends up fitting Luke's parameters too. I ended up not using this one, but has Bob (or another choreographer) written it already? Becket A1: (slide left to progress,)

Re: [Callers] New (?) dance, B1 balance, B2 balance and partner swing

Hi All: As Luke noted, there are two dances with similar names. The first is: Return to Sender Becket-L, double, 7/18/00 A1. L diagonal R and L through, ladies chain to neighbor A2. Hey (LR, PL, GR, NL) - give R to N B1. Balance, box the gnat and pull by R, gents allemande L 1 1/2 B2.

Re: [Callers] New (?) dance, B1 balance, B2 balance and partner swing

Two corrections: The Bob Isaacs composition that I accidentally duplicated is "Return 2 Sender". "Return to Sender" is a different Bob Isaacs dance with a double progression. I'm now proposing Vallimont's Silver Hammer be the following dance instead: Becket A1 Circle Left Neighbor Swing A2

Re: [Callers] New (?) dance, B1 balance, B2 balance and partner swing

The dance name "Return to Sender" may always now seem a bit ironic to you, but there are worse things in life than to come up with choreography so good that Bob Isaacs got there first. On May 9, 2016, at 3:23 PM, Luke Donforth via Callers wrote: > And it

And it turns out it's already been written: Bob Isaacs called it "Return to Sender" Sorry for the false alarm. On Mon, May 9, 2016 at 2:55 PM, Luke Donforth wrote: > My tentative name (assuming the composition doesn't already exist) is > Vallimont's Silver Hammer. The

Re: [Callers] New (?) dance, B1 balance, B2 balance and partner swing

My tentative name (assuming the composition doesn't already exist) is Vallimont's Silver Hammer. The dance came out of a conversation with the talented musician Julie Vallimont (just got permission to use the name) about closing sets; and how callers like dances that end with swings but bands

Re: [Callers] New (?) dance, B1 balance, B2 balance and partner swing

Luke, I don't recognize it, but it looks fun. Just curious ... did you have a particular tune in mind that shaped your desire for the balance at the top of the B sections? --Jerome Jerome Grisanti 660-528-0858 http://www.jeromegrisanti.com "Whatever you do, or dream you can, begin it.

[Callers] New (?) dance, B1 balance, B2 balance and partner swing

Hello all, I was trying to write a nice end-of-evening dance that had a balance at the top of B1, and ended with a partner swing (that wasn't Old Time Elixir #2 or Tica Tica timing...) and came up with this. I think it's new, and it worked well in Montreal recently; but I'd like to know if it
