I do not write contra dances, but is the Star Right really followed by Allemande Right?
To a square dancer, it seems awkward two RH movements.

Jack:
Did you get the dance correctly? What was sent does not progress, and as I read it the A2
swing is with partner, not neighbor. As for a possible correction:
Improper
A1. 8,8 Star R, N alle R 1 1/2
A2. 2,8,6 Gents pass L, 1/2 hey (PR, LL, NR, GL), P swing
B1. 8,8 Gents alle L 1 1/2, N swing
B2. 8,8 R and L through, star L
This shortens the P swing to an unsatisfying 6 beats. Same thing for the N swing in:
Improper
A1. 8,8 Star R, N alle R 1 1/2
A2. 2,8,6 Gents pass L, 1/2 ricochet hey (PR, LL, NR, G ricochet), N swing
B1. 8,8 Gents alle L 1 1/2, P swing
B2. 8,8 Ladies chain, star L

Dean Snipes called me a few weeks ago with this dance asking if it had
already been written. As simple as it is, I suspect that it has been, but
didn't have a dance in particular to point to. Anyone recognize it? If
so, can you put a name to it?
RH Star
N Alle R
Gent pass L, 1/2 hey
N Sw
Gents Alle L 1 1/2
P Sw
Ladies chain
LH Star
