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)
         Star Right - around to NEW neighbor (8)
