Hi folks,
I'm wondering if anyone might know the name of this dance? I've done some
digging on caller's box but haven't been able to find it.
N Bal & Box-the-Gnat
N DSD
N Al R 1.5
Robins Al L 1.5
P Bal & Sw
Robins Chain
LH Star
Have this dance been written before?
Working title: The Bodacious Babe and her Fabulous Femmes (in memory of Donna Newman)
Formation: Becket (barely)
A1: Circle left 3 places (6), neighbor swing (10)
A2: Long lines* (8); robins walk forward to make a wavy line of robins but on the 4th step twirl 180 degrees to give RIGHT hands to their opposite and end up with their back to their partner and facing their neighbor (4), balance the wave (4)
B1: Robins turn contra corners (1st corner is neighbor they just swung, 2nd corner is next neighbor)
B2: Robins pass right to partner swing; slide left to next couple
Note: *In the long lines, one hand is holding current neighbor, other hand is holding next neighbor. These will be your corners.

A dance this past Friday had a balance partner on the side, square Thru 4
and got me thinking:
Do people know any dances with a grand R+L for the set, like 3,33-33, but
with partner and 2 shadows?
I checked Caller's Box, no luck.
I'd love to add a couple to my box.
Here's my tentative contribution:
A1 slide L, Robins Pull By R (2,2)*
NS (12)
A2 R+L Thru (8), form ring
Bal ring, spin R (4,4), face P, take RHs
B1 P Bal RH, pull by R, Shadow 1 pull by L, Shad2 bal RH + Box Gnat
(4,2,2,4,4)
B2 Shad2 pull by R, Shad2 pull by (2,2,2)
PS (10)
* A1 could be a slide-circle-swing, but we have plenty of those, and I like
the longer NS before a R+L through, for less-tight timing.
In dance,
Julian Blechner
