No I have not tried that.  Let me know if you do and how it works!

Hey Jean,

Nice dance. Did you consider or field test reversing the mad robin (gents forward and left to start)? Just curious.

Regards,

Greg

Actually, I wrote it for my 69th birthday, which was on Oct 1.  You see, when you are born, that is your first trip around the sun.  Then you have your first birthday, which is actually your 2nd trip around the sun.  I am so happy the dance is being called!  YAY!!  The only tricky part seems to be having the Neighbor gent end the swing in good time, to allow the Lady to transition smoothly into the Mad Robin with their next neighbor.

Amy - I will be up your way for my actual 70th birthday, on my Septuagenarian Tour with Audrey Knuth and Amy Englesberg!  Hope to see you then!

I called this last night at Childgrove in Saint Louis.  Dancers seemed pleased, but I got some questions about the title -- I think some of them heard 70 Libra Sons and were imagining a bunch of boys born in October.   Where did the name come from?

Hello All!  I wanted to write a dance in celebration of my stepping into the Libra Sun for the 70th time.  I wanted it to be very balanced, in Libra fashion.

Anyone seen this dance before?  It is not like anything in my data base that has Mad Robin in the A1, but I did not search the other figures.

Thanks for your input!
