[Callers] has anybody else written / similar sequences?

[Tavi Merrill via Callers]

Checking in with y'all to share new chore, confirm whether it is
"original," and ask if others have sequences they use for similar intents
and purposes.

(1/2017) Roll away with a half sashay is perhaps the purest distillation of
weight-sharing, yet compared to the more complex chain, conspicuously
absent from much of the choreography used with beginning dancers.
In the interest of teaching only one new move per dance, i sought here to
use the rollaway as a means of drilling weight sharing, building muscle
memory, and reinforcing key hall awareness concepts "along/across" in an
early-evening sequence.
There's a hidden agenda here: Doing a "wowee" figure in the second half
with minimal additional teaching.
<br/><br/>A2 can be articulated as either a ring balance or a two-hand
neighbor balance. For dancers already familiar with the petronella spin,
"Sourdough" variation: B2. Ring balance; Ladies Partner rollaway along;
Ring balance; all spin R 1.5 to meet new neighbors.
