There are a couple of other dances I'm having trouble tracking down.
One is Hotpoint Special, which I think may be by Rick Mohr, and again
there's a band by that name. Criss-Cross Hey by Bob Isaacs is another.

I have a scribbled note from a dance weekend back in February that I
really enjoyed this dance but I didn't get the author's name, and now
all I can find online is references to the band with that name. Can
anybody point me to a source?

A year or two ago I was at a dance where Rhodri Davies called some squares with Allemande Alphabet figures, of the form:
Allemande (corner) left to an Allemande X: Pass your partner and swing the next.
Allemande left to an Allemande R (appears in MWSD as Allemande Thar): chain right then left to a back-up star.
Where can I find more of these? Were there well-agreed uses of each letter, or did the caller just make up something that rhymed as well as being danceable?

Hi everyone,
I had the pleasure of calling Lynn Ackerson's 4x4 "Coconut Cream Pie" for the first time last night. It was, forgive me, easy as pie for everyone to get - which I suppose was her reason for writing it as it's a simplified version of Apple Pie Quadrille. (It was also perfect for an American 4th of July weekend dance, featuring both stars and stripes [long lines]. Ha.)
Do you have other favorite, not too difficult, 4-facing-4 dances you're willing to share?

Here in the Monadnock region of NH, where I call mostly community, school
and camp "barn dances," whenever there are folks over 60 they invariably
request, "Oh, Johnny, Oh"!

I recently met a delightful local guy who grew up playing for his father in
southwestern NH, who promised to sing me the whole dance when we meet
again next week! I will duly write it down and share it here.

Huh? I don't see anything of mine anywhere in the conversations about swinging and frames etc.
I apparently scribbled this on a card after dancing it, but never got the name and author. I’m also not completely confident that I wrote it accurately so am hoping to find a video of it somewhere.
It’s improper.
A1 Star Rt 1/2 way; men drop out and loop behind partner as the women continue to turn; men rejoin the star and all end up where they started
Repeat
A2 Hey for four (I assume women start by the Left?)
B1 Partner Bal and Swg
B2 Women chain, Left hand star
Thanks for even considering helping me out with this.
