The version I have, which I learned from David Kaynor, has a balance in
the old wavy line before stepping forward to the new wavy line. The call
I use is something like "Flatten the circle to a wavy line and balance."
It fits fine into the music, with no extra notes to eat up.

Hi callers,
I am preparing to call Paul Balliet’s contra “Summer Sunshine” and I have a
timing question about the B2. I have copied the entire dance as I have it
below. My question is this: It seems that 8 counts of music is too much
for walking from one wavy line to another. (I believe that I have other,
more modern dances to be sure, that do this in 4). What would you think of
adding a balance there with the old neighbors before walking forward to the
new neighbors’ wavy line and balancing with them?
Here is the dance as I have it:
(Start in a wavy line of 4, across the set, 1s facing down, 2s facing up)
A1
Balance the wave (once - twice might be fun)
Neighbor Swing
A2
Ladies chain over and back
B1
Circle left ¾
Partner Swing
B2
Circle left ¾ more to a wavy line [no balance in this version]
Walk forward to a new wavy line with new neighbors.
Thanks in advance for your comments
