Jim, your dance strikes me as a rather unique combination of moves, and
I would be surprised if it had already been written. It looks like it
has nice flow, have you called it to live dancers yet?

p.s. I notice it could also start at B1 (as a duple improper dance that
progresses in the expected place), or at A2 (as a Becket dance that ends
with a partner swing).

I'm fairly new to Calling and fascinated with Contra dance choreography.
Below is my attempt at a Groundhog day dance. The groundhog starts his
day by looking for his shadow and so does this dance.
Groundhog Daze Becket
A1 Gypsy your shadow
Partner swing
A2 Circle left 3 places
Balance the circle, 1's make an arch, 2's dive thru
B1 Next neighbor balance and swing
B2 Long lines forward and back
Ladies allemande right 1/2, partner allemande left 3/4
I know there are thousands of dances out there so if this is not an
original, please let me know the true name.
Thanks, Jim Hemphill
