I've looked in the usual places and came up with only two examples of a dance with a Rip/Snort (Rip 'n' Snort?) but one is inaccessible online.
How many beats does it take to dance a rip/snort for two couples? My brain says 4 is too short and 8 is too long. I found one dance that pairs it with a ring balance for a total of 8 beats.
I haven't access to "Roll Over Johannes" to see how Becky Hill made use of it.
Thanks
