The dance also had the new Pingle do a basket swing with couple four during the swing part at the end! Folk process in motion, as is pointed out. The article is from 1982, Ken says he wrote the dance “some years ago” so my guess would be sometime in the 1970s. <div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><a href="http://www.lloydshaw.org/Resources/adc/198205i.pdf" class="">http://www.lloydshaw.org/Resources/adc/198205i.pdf</a></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><br class=""><div class=""><blockquote type="cite" class=""><div class="">On Jan 22, 2016, at 7:51 PM, Winston, Alan P. <<a href="mailto:winston@slac.stanford.edu" class="">winston@slac.stanford.edu</a>> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><div class="">

I had it in my head that it was written by Roger Whynot but googled
and found an attribution to Ken Alexander.<br class="">
<br class="">
I read someplace that it was written as "Pride of the Dingle". I
see that a dance of that name is listed as being in the Fried de
Metz Herman collection (by multiple authors) "Potter's Porch", which
I don't have here at work to verify.<br class="">
<br class="">
Don't know if that helps in any way.<br class="">

There’s a really neat oddball one by Erik Hoffman called “The
Millennium Bug”. Not sure what book of his it is in, though.
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">There’s another traditional one called “Pride of the
Pingle” for four couples +1. Line up as for a reel of four
couples, doesn’t really matter if it is proper or not. The lone
person stands at the top center of the set above the first
couple and faces down.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Pride of the Pingle 9 people, 4 couple (proper)
set and one extra Traditional</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">A1) All up a double and back without taking hands,
while the “Pingle” goes down a double and back between them, 2X</div>
<div class="">A2) All allemande right partners half way, turn
around and allemande left partners half way back. While this
happens, the “Pingle” joins in the first couple’s allemande with
their right hand to form a little right hand star of three. This
moves the “Pingle” down one place, and they can then stick out
their left hand and join the left allemande of couple 2 as a
little group of 3.</div>
<div class="">This is then repeated, with all continuing to
allemande right partners half way, allemande left partners half
way back, as the “Pingle” joins in right with couple 3, and then
left with couple 4 to reach the bottom. A lot to say but easier
to do.</div>
<div class="">B1) The “Pingle” then joins on to one or other of
the long lines (in the old strictly proper form they would join
their gender role line, but nowadays and in family dances it’s
just join a line). The lines of four and five then go forward
and back twice, pushing the longer line up the set to push out a
new unmatched “Pingle” at the top. </div>
<div class="">B2) All then swing the person across from them that
they are matched with, except the new “Pingle”. </div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">I heard it called “Pride of the Pingle” but
somewhere I also saw it as “Pride of the Dingle” so I’m not
perfectly sure which name it is. </div>
