[Callers] New dance composition, star to next neighbor hey

[Jeffrey Spero]

Yeah… I know.  I’m not one who believes that EVERY dance must have a neighbor swing.  I think there are some incredibly fine choreographies that can happen without that requirement.  That said, I wouldn’t program an entire night of them, lest I get rode out of town on a rail!
