Ron and All:
 
I hope this isn't too weird for you.  It adapted the diagonal Rory spins first seen in Bill Olson's Eleanor's Reel into a single progression dance:

From: callers@lists.sharedweight.net

Any contra dances out there with a grand right and left around the set and Rory OMoore spins? (Standard 32bar, nothing too weird)

I thought I've danced one that went something like:

Indecent
A1. N1 Pull by R, N2 Pull by L, N3 Pull by R, N4 Alle L 1x, N3 by R, form wavy lines with N2, LH to N2, ladies in center.
A2. Bal, Spin L, Bal, Spin R ...

Then something? Maybe ladies spin all the way across on that second spin, B+S partner, circle, do-si-do?

Or maybe the pull-bys go back to N1, and RH to N1 in waves?

Thanks,
Ron Blechner
