[Callers] Multiple N swings / does this dance exist?

[Ron Blechner]

The biggest caution I'd say is that 2 Neighbor swing has a higher chance of
too-much-clockwise.

I saw four dances in these suggestions with 40 beats of clockwise rotation
for at least one of the roles, which is right around the threshold where
people are getting dizzy but not quite noticing it.

I've got some in my box at home - I'll try and dig some out and forward
them. I second "Cheat Lake Gypsies" - that ones in my box and a definite
good dance!

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.
