Hi Ron,
I just thought I'd let you know that I've called Ants Marching twice now,
and it has worked really well both times. I was worried because it has
several challenging moves but as you say, it works.

It's gone over well, and has an easier finish. There's one move to
teach very carefully. (I uh ... sorta created a variation of a
left-hand-high-right-hand-low that goes into a swing ... called a Loop
Di Doo). It's been picked up by a few other callers, so, I know it's
not totally awful.
in dance,

I agree with Michael. Especially in the case of a
classic.

that, they get a better feel for the area to aim for to find the new
neighbor. A couple of seriously disoriented dancers can really play havoc
with this dance though. It's brittle.
