<p dir="ltr">For Playground Stomp, next time I'll try the B2 as:<br>
Ladies Chain (8) (to N)<br>
Star L to long waves (8) </p>
<p dir="ltr">It's slightly harder, but reduces balances from 5 to 4, and reduces the raised arms in the dance, which may mean less fatigue.</p>

Wrote a few dances. Have 2 keepers:<br>
<br>
Astral Navigation<br>
Becket Contra<br>
Ron T Blechner<br>
Called 4/15/15 Baltimore<br>
<br>
A1. Circle L 3/4 (6)<br>
NS (10)<br>
A2. Star L 1x (8) to Long Waves *<br>
Bal Wave, Box Circulate ** (4, 4)<br>
B1. Bal R, Slide R past P (4, 4) ***<br>
Bal L, Slide L past P (4, 4)<br>
B2. P B+S (4, 12)<br>
<br>
* Gents face out, Ladies face in, Prev N in LH, New N in RH<br>
** Ladies Cross, Gents Loop R. This is the progression!<br>
*** As in Rory O'Moore<br>
<br>
One of several dances I wrote mixing Rory O'Moore spins and box<br>
circulates. This one has a strong partner focus, but still manages a<br>
neighbor swing. The title refers both to using the star to enter the<br>
long ocean waves, as well as one's partner being a guiding star to<br>
keep in the right place.<br>
<br>
<br>
Playground Stomp<br>
Duple Improper Contra<br>
Ron T Blechner<br>
Called 4/1/15 Amherst, refined, called 4/16/15 Mt. Airy, Philadelphia<br>
Thursday dance<br>
<br>
Start: Long waves with Gents facing out, Ladies facing In, N in RH<br>
<br>
A1. Bal, Slide R past N (4, 4) *<br>
Bal, Slide L past N (4, 4)<br>
A2. Bal, Box Circulate (4, 4) **<br>
Bal, Gents Alle L 1x (4, 4) ***<br>
B1. P Gypsy + Swing (16)<br>
B2. Ladies Alle R 1.5x (8) to wave of 4 ****<br>
Bal Wave, N Alle L 3/4 (4, 4) to long waves. *****<br>
<br>
* as in Rory O'Moore<br>
** Ladies cross, gents loop R<br>
*** Ladies loop R as if it's a box circulate. This flows nicely into the gypsy.<br>
**** N in LH<br>
***** New N in RH<br>
<br>
Difficulty: Intermediate - the individual moves aren't bad, but<br>
there's a lot going on. This is a very stompy dance, hence the title.<br>
"Playground" refers to slides and boxes one might play on/in.<br>
<br>
I'm going to play with this more... Maybe turn the gents allemande to<br>
a gypsy left.<br>
<br>
This dance I wrote to mix up 2 Rory spins and 2 Box Circulates. The<br>
gents allemande was an innovation born out of necessity. There's no<br>
neighbor swing, but you get a lot of interaction with them.<br>
