[Callers] Has This Dance Been Written?

[Bob Isaacs via Callers]

Dugan and All:


Yes, this occurred to me as well.  I call it Surf's Up (7/3/14).


Also written from the same starting point and at the same time is Gentle Surf:


A1.  Balance, circulate, balance, circulate

A2.  Balance, circulate, neighbor swing

B1.  Gents allemande L 1 1/2, partner swing

B2.  Long lines, star L into long waves

Do any of you have this dance sequence under a different title and author?  If not, I'd like to claim it as my own composition.

"And We Still Dance" by Dugan Murphy (duple improper contra)

A1 Long Wavy Lines (Gents facing out; neighbor in right hand) Balance (4) - Circulate (Ladies cross while gents turn to face in, taking neighbor's place) (4) / Long Wavy Lines (Gents facing in; partner in right hand) Balance (4) - Circulate (Gents cross while ladies turn to face in, taking partner's place) (4)
A2 Neighbor Balance and Swing (16)
B1 Gents Left Hand Allemande 1.5 (8) / Partner Swing (8)
B2 Ladies Chain to Neighbor (8) / Left Hand Star Once to Retake Hands in Long Wavy Lines (8)

The thought occurred to me today that the Rory O'More-inspired figure in "United We Dance" by Bob Isaacs could be replaced with a circulation figure to create a different dance with the same fun star-wave transition.  I can imagine someone before me having the same thought.
