*Hi Everyone,I'm writing to share a contra dance I've written. We've tried
it out twice, once at the Camp Sturtevant weekend and once at our 5th
Saturday advanced dance. The interesting part is the progression, from a
hey into a circle with new neighbors.Switching the 2nd half of A1 to Raven
instead of Lark also works, it just flips the direction the dance
progresses. I ended up choosing Larks because of the Raven alamande at the
end.Any feedback or thoughts are welcome!Emma AzelbornLos AngelesHey

best with ample floor space for the orbitTeaching notes: - It helps to
identify future neighbors before starting, so dancers know who to be
looking for in the progression out of the hey (they're on the left
diagonal)- Ravens turn over their left shoulder to progress & circle
instead of looping right at the end of the hey- Larks keep going the same
direction of travel into the orbitA18Long lines fwd & back8Larks right
