Okay, the Callers Box site didn't like 'circulate' in the middle of a line of
text.

Yeah, it's pretty close.
Side-note: Callers Box doesn't seem to like "circulate", which is why I
asked here.
I've been looking for solid Box Circulate dances that aren't the same 3 or 4, and
are a tad easier so I can swap 'em in, or put them in a medley.
This one's similar enough to a couple Rory dances as well.
Any other close dances / matches?
In dance,
Julian Blechner

Not exactly, but close... there's probably
another that's closer?
If I Fits, I Sits - Becket Left/CW - Don Veino 20231125
A1 (left diagonal) Circle Left 3/4x, NBR Dosido 1+1/4x to wave/4
(RH to NBR on GNT/LRK home side)
A2 Wave/4 Balance, Hinge 1/4, Box Circulate (GNT/LRK cross, LDY/RBN loop)
Long Wave Balance, Box Circulate (LDY/RBN cross, GNT/LRK loop)
B1 NBR Balance (or RSR) & Swing (at LDY/RBN home)
B2 Give & Take to LDY/RBN (ALT: GNT/LRK ALM LT 1+1/2x), PNR Swing
In my experience, the hinge to circulate here actually helps newer dancers get the loop
right motion of the box circ. I was slightly concerned about that timing but it's
danced well when called.
