Hi Rich,
Closest I have is a William Watson version of Bob Dalsemer's Dog Branch
Reel. William's version has the "coach and horses" return and cloverleaf
circle.
Also, Chris Page's NEWSreel has a whole set promenade and back in B1, but
is otherwise identical.
Regards,
Greg

Hi Luke,
I think this is a great accessible dance. Flow is fine, and I actually feel
that getting too much "rightward" muscle memory is not a good thing.
Symmetry is better for our bodies in the long run. So FWIW, thumbs up for
me. And I will try it out at one of my next two gigs 3/8 or 3/13.

Something new perhaps? I wrote this recently, trying to avoid the
ubiquitous half figure 8 figure:

Good job Chris, especially considering what a poor job you did trying to
write the worst dance last year ;-)

There is also "Priest Pass" by Mitchell S. Frey that ends LLFB, Ladies
Chain. I imagine you have a folked version of one of these dances.

For title, might I suggest "The Dixie Combination"? The couple trading
figure is often called a Dixie Twirl, and there already exist "A New
Combination" and "The Nice Combination".

Hi Becky,
The most common alternative term I hear is "Thread the Needle". Thanks for
your post. It definitely merits consideration. One other term out there
that may need revising is "Nantucket Sleighride". (

start.

Hi Jim,
I always use music for my lessons. Live if the band is willing; recorded if
not. For this purpose, I have an ipod and powerful battery powered speaker
I can use that is sufficient to fill most spaces. My experience is music
gives dancers an idea of phrasing and tempo of dance they might o

I have "Haste to the Wedding #2" which I cribbed from the 2016 NEFFA dance
catalog, and is ascribed to David. Also, Sue and Kristen may wish to verify
the provenance of "Marion's Delight". It may be a completely different
dance, but "Marian's Delight" is by Carol Kopp, and the close title

Annually. I make room for new dances I add over the course of the year, and
try to keep my working pile to under 250.
