Starts with a wavy line of gents in the center
A1: gents bal. L then R, allemande L 3/4
neighbor swing
A2: ladies allemande R 1 1/2
partner swing
B1: gents chain by L (to N)
circle L 3/4
B2: gents chain by R (to N)
gents allemande R 1 1/4 to a long wave (taking L with a new gent)
Notes: Written late Feb. 2016 for Michal Richardson (in reference to the state of our local dance), and workshopped at NEFFA ‘16. The parameters I was given was that the dance have a lot of action for the gents, and be as confusing and counter-intuitive as possible–I hope I’ve managed this while achieving flow at the same time. The chain in B1 looks like a typical gents’ chain (gents begin and end on the left), while in B2, the gents do a typical “ladies’ chain”, beginning and ending on the RIGHT.

I was overdue actually publishing my Gents right-hand chain dances. I wrote a bunch, settled on 5 that I liked, have called 2 of them so far:
