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
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?

"Whatever you do, or dream you can, begin it.
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
And it turns out it's already been written:
Bob Isaacs called it "Return to Sender"
Sorry for the false alarm.

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.

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
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.
