Bob, I'm not sure what you mean by the band being in the lead. I think the
band is in front of their partner in the star.
The whole thing could be flipped to end with the more traditional
chain->left hand star, which might transition into a neighbor do-si-do and
swing transition instead of a balance and swing. Would that help? Or do you
just think that changing focus from a star to a new neighbor is difficult.
*A1*
Neighbor Do-si-do
Neighbor swing
*A2
*Bands chain (pull by left and courtesy turn)
Promenade with partner across set (Barearms passing right)
*B1
*Bands do-si-do 1x
Partner Swing
*B2
*Barearms chain across
Left hand star 1x

Hello All,
In the near future, I get to call for my first gender free dance. I'm
looking forward to it, and thinking about my program. I was contemplating
putting in Bands chains. The gents chain is a move that seems by and
large
ignored in conventional contra dancing; the
occasional dance I've seen
using it is usually greeted with grumbling. Are gender free dancers more
open to the move?
I was thinking of the following dance (where barearms are on the right
after a swing)
*A1*
Neighbor Balance and Swing
*A2*
Promenade Neighbor across and courtesy turn
Barearms chain across the set (pull by right)
*B1*
Barearms do-si-do 1x
Partner swing
*B2*
Bands chain across (pull by left, courtesy turned by neighbor)
Right Hand Star 1x
I've sent the question directly to the dance organizer, and I'm
cross-posting on facebook, but I also wanted to poll the folks here.
Thoughts?
Thanks.
