[Callers] Re: Dances with fewer swings

Many excellent dances without a neighbor swing exist, I have fantasized about calling a whole evening of such dances. Many dances having only the 1's active can be adapted so the 1's and 2's alternate as active, the most often called of which is "Alternating Corners" by Jim Kitch.
