That's a Liz Albert dance, and it goes like this:

Swing States
A1: long lines forward and back, swing neighbor
AS: Long lines forward and back, swing next neighbor
B1: Circle left three places, swing partner on side
B2: Ladies chain across, circle right, open up into long lines

Liz says she named it "Swing States" because of the go left/ go right motion in the dance.

There's a dance, I think by a choreographer in Chicago, called "Swing States". I was in a hall when it was announced, but don't have more than that. Sorry I didn't get it to the list in time. I've been distracted lately...

Here's one, from after the fact. 

"You can't always get what you want"
Improper
A1
Mad robin around neighbor 1x (sea-saw style, gents in front first)
Circle Right 1x
A2
Half poussette with partner, men push first, women push back
Gypsy Star Right 1x (take inside hands across with same role, gents right, ladies left)
B1
Women pull by left to start a full hey (left with same role in middle, right with opposite role on outside)
B2
Neighbor Gypsy and Swing

I don't think I'll ever call it. But at least I can rest assured that Bob Isaacs probably didn't write it first ;-)

In reflection, maybe it's best to not do any "election themed" dances.

I calling the Baltimore contra on Wednesday.

Vote With Your Feet of course.
Others I am considering are:
Take All of the Credit and None of the Blame The Eyes Have It Illegal in Most States Not a Figment of Your Imagination Rocks and Dirt In Cahoots Chaos Pie Blueshift The Dancer's Duty Long May It Wave There Is No Way to Peace

Any other suggestions?
