[Callers] Role Scramblers dances with balances

[Jeffrey Spero via Callers]

I can send one of them!

The Dancing Frog
Jeffrey Spero	February 25, 2001
Duple improper
A1	Neighbor balance and swing
A2	Ladies allemande right once-and-a-half
	Partners swing
B1	Long lines forward and back, partners roll away with a half sashay
	Gents chain across
B2	Partners right hand balance, box the gnat
	Same four, right hand star
Author's notes: The gents chain in B1 is a true role reversal, with the men pulling by with their right hands - my favorite kind of gents chain!
This dance was composed for a dance medley during the 2001 Fiddling Frog Dance Festival in Los Angeles.

I'm looking for dances with elements for each dance role that are more typically danced by the other role (such as Jeff Spero's "Equal Opportunity," which has the ones chain). I have "Roll Away Sue" by Bob Isaacs (a gent's chain), but would love other dances with balances and waves that might fit this theme.

>> The Digital Divide by Jeremy Korr - alternates gents/ladies chain and give-and-take to gents'/ladies' side; balance + square thru
