Hi there hivemind,
I'm in search of the following dances and would be grateful to anyone who
can help me out:
1) Cupid's Clout (...Cupid's Cloud? Something like that? A lovely flowy
dance with pousettes)
Jim Hemphill's "Cupid's Hey" has pousettes:

2) Square Route (petronella spin --> 3 changes of a
square thru)
Don't know.
3) Looking for name and author of:
A1: circle L 3/4
N swing
A2: long lines
square thru 2
B1: next N. bal & box the gnat
gents allemande L 1 1/2
B2: P b&s
One possibility is that it's the 'becketization' of a ones-improper dance
that begins when you meet your next neighbor:
A1: N. bal & box the gnat
gents allemande L 1 1/2
A2: P b&s
B1: circle L 3/4
N swing
B2: long lines
square thru 2
This is pretty close to "Dancy Nancy" by Katy Heine:

It's also similar to your own "Treasure of the Soda Bar":

And the first three-quarters are identical to those of:
-- "Bristol Court" by Melanie Axel-Lute:

-- and "Traveling Salesman" by John Coffman:
