Recently I called Maia McCormick's Train Delay to a crowd of eight. There's a 16 count shadow interaction that sends you back to your partner for a 16 count swing. When the people on the ends do that, they're effectively in for half of the dance, even when "waiting out." I suspect many other shadow dances may have this dynamic.

Here's a video of that: https://www.icloud.com/photos/#07bjrEo8eTqaekwKTOrg9lONw I think it's cute that it also ends up looking kinda like a square with eight.

Hi, Guys - 

I want to collect contras where there is no wait-out at the end of the line.  A dance that comes to mind is Three Thirty-Three, because of the grand R&L up and down the line.  Can you name others?  and other figures that make a no wait-out possible?

Thanx,

Susan  🎶 ☺
