Folks,
I remember dancing a dance where two people face a line of three. I
believe there was a Dosido as lines of two and three, but I cannot remember
the dance.
Does anyone recall such a dance. Are you willing to share it?
Thanks,
Rich
Hi all,
Once again, a sleepless night produces a dance sequence. I recently called
it with very positive response, making me wonder - does this seem new, or
(how) similar to something already out there?

Here's a new dance I wrote and premiered at our local dance a few weeks ago, to very positive reviews. I'm proud of the dance overall, but particularly with title. If anyone is aware of another dance using this title, please indicate that. It's worth noting that partner contact is a bit limited in this dance, but it feels like a worthwhile trade off given the nice flow of the dance and the long partner swing at the end.
Feedback welcome. (Video attached)

Hello all!
In a scene with which I'm sure many of you are familiar, I woke up in the
middle of the night with a tune stuck in my head, and I couldn't fall
asleep until I'd written a dance to go with it.
Let me know if someone's beat me to it:
Molly Apple Pye, Becket
A1: Balance Ring, Petronella
Balance Ring, Pass through up and down
A2: New Neighbor Balance and Swing
B1: Gents start 3/4 Hey across (GL PR LL NR GL PR),
Ladies Ricochet*
B2: Partner Swing
I realize the partner swing in this version is longer than standard, but
figure since the timing can run long for a full hey with ricochet and since
the next move is a ring balance, I don't mind giving the dancers the extra
time to get their affairs in order. ;)
*But maybe the timing works better if the Ladies dance a
left-shoulder-round instead, to take up a bit more music? I need to
play-test! In that case, the B's would be,
B1: Gents start 3/4 Hey across (GL PR LL NR GL PR),
Ladies Left Shoulder Round
B2: Partner Right Shoulder Round and Swing
Thanks!
Angela
