Howdy Maia!

"Cheat Lake Gypsies" sprung to mind.  I think I had it down as a Cary Ravitz dance, but on his website, it looks like it was done collaboratively by a group of folks at a dance weekend. Of course, the other annoying thing about this dance is that the title includes the G-word. I trust you'll handle that in some way that feels appropriate for you and your audience. :)

Hey folks,

Looking for a dance with multiple swings with the same N, and also preferably a P b&s, for a workshop I'm running on in-dance communication. Anyone have one to recommend?

On a similar note, this is the dance I tossed off to fill this need: does it exist? If not, tentatively titling it "Good Fences".

Improper
A1: long lines forward and back
(new) N swing
A2: ladies chain to P
half hey (ladies pass R)
B1: P b&s
B2: gents alle. L 1 1/2
