I like the A parts motion of this trad dance (thanks Bob for posting!). Seeing this got my brain going while I was running my errands this morning... and out popped these two multi-swing retakes. I hope they're unique but please let me know should you have info otherwise.

Thanks,
Don

The Devil's a Swinger - DI - Don Veino 20171012

A respin on the traditional dance Devil's Dream to incorporate swings yet retain some of the tradtional feel.

Starts with the 1s facing down in the center and 2s facing up on the outside.

A1 (6,2) 1s go down center/2s go up outside - 1s turn as couple, 2s turn alone
   [I'd probably teach/prompt "centers as couples, outsides turn alone" as it fits both instances]
   (6,2) 1s go up center/2s go down outside - Handy Hand Allemande 1/2x same role Neighbor to 2s in center

A2 (6,2) 1s go down outside/2s go up center - 2s turn as couple, 1s turn alone
