My tentative name (assuming the composition
doesn't already exist) is
Vallimont's Silver Hammer. The dance came out of a conversation with the
talented musician Julie Vallimont (just got permission to use the name)
about closing sets; and how callers like dances that end with swings but
bands often have something that builds to a big hit at the A to B
transition in the music.

Luke,
I don't recognize it, but it looks fun.
Just curious ... did you have a particular tune in mind that shaped your
desire for the balance at the top of the B sections?

Hello all,
I was trying to write a nice end-of-evening dance that had a balance at
the top of B1, and ended with a partner swing (that wasn't Old Time Elixir
#2 or Tica Tica timing...) and came up with this. I think it's new, and it
worked well in Montreal recently; but I'd like to know if it already
existed:
Becket
A1
Circle left 3/4
Neighbor swing
A2
Gents start hey for 4 by left
B1
Right to neighbor (women back to back in middle), balance and box gnat
Pull by right, women allemande left 1 1/2
B2
Partner balance and swing
Slide left
Happy dancing
