I agree. I also worry that the transition from 1s swing in the middle to chain across is
likely to be awkward, especially as the 1s are expected to end the swing facing down, away
from their neighbors.

I'd pretty strongly discourage a new caller from trying out that dance, regardless of
name: ending a swing in the middle of the phrase is not something the dancers will be
expecting, and they'll keep having issues with people swinging to the end of the B1
when they try to drop out.

Hello, all. I am mentoring a wanna-be caller who
took notes when she first went to dances 40 years ago and wants to try one of those
dances. She thinks it went like the following. Can anyone identify it? Thanks!!
A-1 Neighbor balance and swing (16)
A-2 Circle left (8)
Partners do-si-do (8)
B One's swing in center (end up where you started!) (8)
Chain over and back (16)
