Is it simply when a couple is out at the top that you signal during B1 that
there are 3 more times left?
Basically, mostly.

Dear Emily,
The last dance is a slight variation of a dance called Contraindicated
by Peter Stix. In Peter's dance, the women do si do once and a half
instead of gypsy.
Also, I believe in the Becket dance New Fall Reel, in the A1, there
would not be a balance..rather a simple circle
Hi Emily,
I believe your 7th dance is Monday Night in Ballard by Mike Richardson. I have
the A2 as long lines followed by ladies allemande *R* 1 1/2.

David,
It helps VERY MUCH thank you! I think I was looking alphabetically under "O"
for Olson instead of "J" for Jennings. DUH! Google was pulling up the right
page, but I kept scrolling down too far.
And thank you for the Roger Diggle version!

Dear Alison,

into long lines forward and back?
No. It's just that instead of starting across, as in a courtesty turn, with a
180 degree assisted turn, with a cast off the assisted turn starts with the

Thank you all, again, for all the help with Rory O'More. Apparently the
decision on how or even whether to call it has been postponed for me by the
weather- our dance for tonight was snowed out!! (My kids are thrilled, the
jonquils maybe less so.)
I'm not supposed to call again till April
Yes! Thank you to everyone.

Hi Jerome,
Thanks for
I wanted to say "thank you" to the many folks who chimed in with great ideas
about orchestrating the midnight "moment" at a New Years Eve dance. I ended
up using several, plus one.
Firstly, I took the approach that there would be a New Years celebration at
the top of each hour, at least in some
Hi all,
First I would like to thank all of you who have been answering my questions
so far. At first I didnt know how to email back only those who had
answered rather than the whole list, and then I thought that I would see you
at NEFFA. That did not happen either so here is a general thanks.
Something didn't seem right in the directions as cited-- I don't call the dance
with a balance in A2-- so I went back and checked. When the dance was published
in Ted Sannella's "Swing the Next," Ted had this to say:
"Originally there was a balance before the swing in A2. I found the transition
