Hi Jerome,

              I have been dancing and calling it for fifty years.  We just call it the Circle Waltz.  You can see it in this video:

Subject: [Callers] Searching for Title & Author

Hello,

I've got a circle mixer that I collected 15-20 years ago. The caller may have been Becky Hill, maybe not. It's for a 32-bar waltz. I'm searching for the title and author.

Starts with a ring of couples all facing the center:

A1 Balance forward & back, roll away (ladies/robins moving in front from Left to Right), Repeat
A2 Repeat twice more
B1 As couples, face center connected by usual hands (gents/larks right, ladies/robins left). Balance while turning away back (together), then (letting go) turn symmetrically away to face out and take other hands.
Balance away and together, turn symmetrically away to face each other
B2 Take the ballroom position, take two waltz steps (step, close, step, close) into circle, then two steps out, then free waltz four waltz steps, ending by unfolding to reform a circle.

Thanks for whatever help you can provide!
