[Callers] Ladies Chain to Allemande Left (Was: Does this dance already exist?)

[Don Veino via Callers]

Hi Robert,

I may be totally missing the point but, in *Just Because*, the chain and
allemande are with *different* people. I agree that's a common bit of
choreography with a well established history - particularly so in squares.

In the dance I referenced (and how I interpreted - perhaps erroneously -
the original request), the person you chain to and the person you allemande
with are the *same* people, and the moves proceed directly from one to the
other for more than a minor fraction (see below).

I'm happy to let go any claim to uniqueness for this approach, should it
matter. We all just add little bits to the foundations we've inherited.

Thanks,
Don

*A1*
Left Diagonal Slice & Take to Gent’s Side (Neighbor Swing)
[First time can be straight across Give & Take; Alternate A1 = Diagonal
Circle Left 3/4, N Swing]

*A2*
Ladies Chain (to P)
Partner Allemande Left 1+1/2x

*B1*
Full Hey, Gents Pass Right to start

*B2*
Partner Balance & Swing

*End Effects*: Wait out crossed over on Left Diagonal at ends.
(Note: as covered in my blog post on this dance, the same sequence but for
the A2 was independently done previously by Linda Leslie as her dance
*Greenfield
Storm*. I modified my dance title as shown to honor hers, once I became
aware of it.)
