<body class='hmmessage'><div dir='ltr'>Hi All:<BR> <BR>As Luke noted, there are two dances with similar names. The first is:<BR> <BR>Return to Sender<BR>Becket-L, double, 7/18/00<BR> <BR>A1. L diagonal R and L through, ladies chain to neighbor<BR>A2. Hey (LR, PL, GR, NL) - give R to N<BR>B1. Balance, box the gnat and pull by R, gents allemande L 1 1/2<BR>B2. Partner balance, swing<BR> <BR>On 5/19/03 I wrote Return 2 Sender, the same dance below that Luke re-discovered. With a neighbor swing and a single progression, this is objectively better.<BR> <BR>For both I offer the following teaching tip: at the end of the hey take R with neighbor and have all face across, so for Return 2 Sender the ladies are back to back. Then have all take a small step to their L as the ideal position to finish the hey (if facing across is 12 o'clock/6 o'clock, then slightly L of across is 1 o'clock/7 o'clock). Then after the box the gnat and pull by, the ladies have a clearer path into the allemande L - <BR> <BR>Bob<BR> <BR> <BR><span style="font-size: 12.8px;">Becket</span><br style="font-size: 12.8px;"><span style="font-size: 12.8px;">A1</span><br style="font-size: 12.8px;"><span style="font-size: 12.8px;">Circle left 3/4</span><br style="font-size: 12.8px;"><span style="font-size: 12.8px;">Neighbor swing</span><br style="font-size: 12.8px;"><span style="font-size: 12.8px;">A2</span><br style="font-size: 12.8px;"><span style="font-size: 12.8px;">Gents start hey for 4 by left</span><br style="font-size: 12.8px;"><span style="font-size: 12.8px;">B1</span><br style="font-size: 12.8px;"><span style="font-size: 12.8px;">Right to neighbor (women back to back in middle), balance and box gnat</span><br style="font-size: 12.8px;"><span style="font-size: 12.8px;">Pull by right, women allemande left 1 1/2</span><br style="font-size: 12.8px;"><span style="font-size: 12.8px;">B2</span><br style="font-size: 12.8px;"><span style="font-size: 12.8px;">Partner balance and swing</span><br style="font-size: 12.8px;"><span style="font-size: 12.8px;">Slide left</span><br clear="all"><BR>Happy dancing<BR><span><font color="#888888"><br>--<BR>Luke Donforth<br><a href="mailto:Luke.Donev@gmail.com" target="_blank">Luke.Donforth@gmail.com</a><br><BR>
