Hi Ron,
Thanks for "Ants Marching" - looks like a fun dance.
The smooth arch-into-swing move is an old one. It occurs in
dances like:
= = = = = = = = = =
Promenade A Trois
Trios; facing AC in Circle - Man in Middle
A1: Promenade
B1: Man: Left Hand High, Right Hand Low: Draw Right-Hand Lady under
arch and let her go - all the Right-Hand Ladies go to the middle and
Circle Left; Draw Left-Hand Lady into a Swing.
At the end of the Swing start Promenading as a couple - the
Ladies from the middle join onto the nearest Couple to make Trios.
Grabbing the man you want a swing with is allowed!

Nice to see it in a modern contra.
Happy dancing,
John
