Hi Maia,

Here's one of my own -

*Grab Bag*
Contra/Dup Imp/Easy
A1
  LLFB
  (new) neighbor swing
A2
  Ladies RS full hey
B1
  Ladies pass right
  Partner turn right shoulder, swing
B2
  Circle left 3/4
  (same) neighbor swing
Notes
  I've found folks are also happy just skipping the right shoulder 'round /
gypsy in the B1 and going straight to the swing - either way works, your
mileage may vary.
