I've used this roll away as a role swap and I agree it works best as
written, with the robins able to give the larks an extra push towards the
allemande.

Joseph,
I think if the larks roll, it would not flow as well. They are backing up
in a rollaway, which might feel awkward, and then suddenly have to go
forward for their chain across.

Hi all,
David Christian is a long-time dancer and stalwart event producer here in
Moscow, Idaho. If you've ever worked here he undoubtedly ran the sound for
your gig. He has been trying his hand at writing some contras. This one
struck me as fun when we workshopped it, and worthy of trying out at a
dance, but I'd like to hear your thoughts before I plunge ahead.

A1. Slice left
Right & Left Through
A2. Robins Chain to neighbor
Long Lines Forward & Back - *Robins roll left and Larks step right
on the way back*
B1. Larks right hand chain to partner
Larks allemande right 1x
B2. Partners Balance & Swing
small question: Do you suppose the position swap at the end of A2 would
work better with Larks roll right and Robins step left?
large question: what do you think of the dance overall?
Thanks,
Joseph Erhard-Hudson
