The first half of the dance is a lot like "Pedal
Pushers" by Bob Dalsemer,
and like "Suzie's Choice" (I don't have the author.) But I prefer
your
dance because it is more connected and would require less walk-through than
either of those dances.
Do you have a name yet? I would like to use it. I particularly like the
progression transition from right hand star into Gent's left hand turn.
Thanks, good point about the A part. It was pointed out to me that for
the gents the allemande is not actually as far as 1+1/2 to get to the
other side where their partner is, so call it once and a little more.
(In Give and Take, Pedal Pushers has it written as 1+1/4.)
Viewed another way, it's the A part of Pedal Pushers and the B part of
Harmony Supper Line (by Jim Saxe) connected with a progression similar
to Sweet Music. To give a nod where nods are due, I think that means I
have to call it:
Pedal Point
improper
A1. gents allemande left 1+1/4; P star promenade
A2. ladies do si do; P swing
B1. circle left 3/4; N swing
B2. long lines; right hand star
