Okay, the Callers Box site didn't like 'circulate' in the middle of a line of text.

Yeah, it's pretty close.

Side-note: Callers Box doesn't seem to like "circulate", which is why I asked here.

I've been looking for solid Box Circulate dances that aren't the same 3 or 4, and are a tad easier so I can swap 'em in, or put them in a medley.

This one's similar enough to a couple Rory dances as well.

Any other close dances / matches?

In dance,

Not exactly, but close... there's probably another that's closer?

If I Fits, I Sits - Becket Left/CW - Don Veino 20231125

A1 (left diagonal) Circle Left 3/4x, NBR Dosido 1+1/4x to wave/4

 (RH to NBR on GNT/LRK home side)

A2 Wave/4 Balance, Hinge 1/4, Box Circulate (GNT/LRK cross, LDY/RBN loop)

Long Wave Balance, Box Circulate (LDY/RBN cross, GNT/LRK loop)

B1 NBR Balance (or RSR) & Swing (at LDY/RBN home)

B2 Give & Take to LDY/RBN (ALT: GNT/LRK ALM LT 1+1/2x), PNR Swing

In my experience, the hinge to circulate here actually helps newer dancers get the loop right motion of the box circ. I was slightly concerned about that timing but it's danced well when called.
