Hi Jim?
Yeah. That's originally what I was aiming for; I've danced contra dances
where they are used as a down-the-hall turnaroynd. The Loop Di Doo differs
in that instead of a turnaround move, it leads into a swing as a
continuation of the move. Actually, if Forward Six changed hands the gent
lifted, it would be the same since a swing follows.
I do believe that's Jack Mitchell in that video.

Ron,
I think your "Loop Di Doo" figure is a lot like something that
occurs in some versions of the traditional (not modern western)
square dance "Forward Six" (a/k/a "Right Hand High, Left Hand Low"
or "Right Lady Over, Left Lady Under" ...). See for example these
videos:

(watch the action as 2:45)

(watch at 1:12)
It's not exactly the same, since in the square dance figure it's
the left hand lady (already holding he partner's hand) who ducks
under the arch, while the right hand lady arches (rather than
diving) to get to her lonesome gent.

It's gone over well, and has an easier finish. There's one move to
teach very carefully. (I uh ... sorta created a variation of a
left-hand-high-right-hand-low that goes into a swing ... called a Loop
Di Doo). It's been picked up by a few other callers, so, I know it's
not totally awful.
in dance,

I agree with Michael. Especially in the case of a
classic.

There are thousands of contras. If one doesn't work, why not try
another one instead of altering that one?
