Hi Kalia,

Here are two easy dances that may look similar at first glance but are
actually pretty different:

1. Hot Buttered Rolls
Perry Shafran

A1:
slice left, rollaway P on the way back (ladies)
long lines forward, rollaway P on the way back (gents)
A2:
ladies allemande right 1+1/2
N swing
B1:
circle left 3/4
P do si do
B2:
P balance, swing


2. Pizza Shop
Yoyo Zhou

A1:
slice left
ladies chain
A2:
ladies allemande right 1
N swing
B1:
down the hall; turn as couples
B2:
circle left 3/4
P swing


Cheers,
Yoyo Zhou
