While, the video the Bill pointed to is similar, note that Tony was calling to a VERY
experienced group of dancers at that event and did things that we would not do at an ONS.
You will note that the version of Kitchen Lancers I used did not include the down the
center cast out to lines forward and back. It does, however, show you how the slides are
done.
The version I notated is, indeed, AABBCC (so if done to a standard AABB tune, every other
time you are starting the figure on the B part, not a problem. There are lots of squares
like that.)

I enjoyed picturing all those squares you shared -- sure sounds like a fun program. I do
have a question about Kitchen Lancers. Since you indicated well-phrased New Englandy
tunes, does that break evenly into an AABB structure? If so, can you indicate those
phrases? I also presume that after the sides jump in, the formation resembles a longways
proper set as for Virginia Reel. Is the sliding across the hall (couples), or up and down
the hall (lines)?
