Hi, I've come up with what I believe to be a new dance today... or is
it? A name awaits confirmation.
I'm interested in opinion on the best starting point for the dance. I
originally wrote the first version but it requires explaining the
set-up and I prefer keeping words to a minimum while teaching. The
rotated second version begins very straightforwardly but could mix up
some dancers whom are used to heys at the end of many dances being the
progression leading to a neighbor swing with/to a new neighbor.
Thanks,
Don

4,4 Long Lines Fwd, G Roll L w/HS on way back
8 Mad Robin, G start into middle first
A2
2,2 Mad Robin continued 1/4 more*, all slide to new Ns* (progression)
4,8 G Allem. Rt. 1/2, P Swing

B2

* After the 1st 2 beats of A2 there is a transitory line of 4 facing
across the hall - two G are face to face in the center, L is facing
her N's back. All slide dir. of progression w/P so at beat 4 there is
a similar line with new Ns.
The timing in the A2 is "squishy" but generous and the swing should
bring it back into phrase alignment.
At ends, wait out facing P to slide in for G allemande.
