Re: [Callers] weird contra dances Take 2

Seth, Alan, and SW; Thanks for sharing this interesting idea. However, I have a few comments/questions, assuming I'm reading this correctly. After walking this through, it appears that all progress CW, not CCW, and also that all finish away from their original side (which would create a back-and-forth dance). If so, the fix is either; A1. Gents allemande L 1 1/2, neighbor swing A2. Long lines, 1's 1/2 figure 8 above 2's or; A1. Circle L 3/4, neighbor swing A2. R and L through, 1's 1/2 figure 8 above 2's The timing in B1 looks very tight, in particular the "2nd" corner allemande L and "head back along the side" in 4 beats. Perhaps a better way to make this work is 1st corner pull by L instead of allemande L 1 1/2. By the way, the 2's allemande R 3/4 are with shadows. For the gents to pass L in B2 the gypsy R is more like 3/4-once around. I'd prefer a gents pass R to make the partner swing a little longer. Finally, after the partner swing all face across at the one they gypsied R by to begin the dance again, so it shouldn't be much to the R and L.
