A short swing on an odd phrase works fine for reasonably experienced
dancers if the tune clearly delineates the phrase and/or the caller
clearly announces the next figure until the dancers get it.
Here is one of mine with a short swing on an odd phrase (which I last
called at the Sugar Hill dance weekend outside of Bloomington IN last
August) https://aptsg.org/Dance/dances.html#MrJohnson
I also have a dance with four swings, all on the odd phrases (which I have
not tried, as I have not yet worked out the details of the end effects)

Du Quoin Races also has a swing that ends mid-phrase.
Dancers tend not to
like to end those when the choreographer wants them to.

I wrote that first dance you asked about the other day too! And for the
exact same reason!
I just inverted Bob’s Read between the lines. And I used a slide and
circle instead of a circle and pass through.
Love this thread. Thanks!
