I know it's not what she intended, but here's what comes to my mind from a literal interpretation of the original instructions:

A1 Right hand star with (current) neighbors,
      Left hand star with (previous) neighbors
A2 Go back to (current neighbor) and swing,
      Ladies roll away to partner swing
B1 Gents chain, starting with a left hand (the free hand) pull-by, courtesy turn with gent on left walking forward
      Gents chain back
B2 Circle L 3/4, pass through

It's not a good dance like this, though -- too busy, too dizzy, and the B2/A1 transition is awkward.  I suppose this might stand as a cautionary example for anyone reconstructing dances from the historical record; the intended dance as recorded by Don is different from this particular minimal literal reconstruction.

Last night at bedtime my 5 year old daughter and I had the following interaction:

Raeden: "Daddy. I want to write a new dance, Pony Fun."
Me: "OK, how does it go?"
R: "Star, Star, Swing. Swing, Courtesy Turn, Circle 3 places, Pass Through, repeat."

A little bit of back and forth figuring out the glue resulted in the following. Has someone else written it first?

Thanks,
Don
