Hi Rich,
Here's the second dance "Naked in California" by Nils Fredland. The name
of the dance goes something like this:
The dance was called "the No Name Dance" for short time. I ran into Nils
somewhere (can't remember which State) and told him he needed to get a name for that
dance because it was getting picked up quickly and being called by callers like Susan
Petrick, (who travels a lot) etc. Around that same time, Nils had just called at the very
popular Dance Awakening contra dance weekend in California, which happens to be held at
Harbin Hot Springs, where in between lots of dancing, there is lots of hot tub
soaking..... (clothing optional), hence the name of the dance....
It's a great dance with two neighbor swings with the same N
Enjoy,
Karen Fontana

I danced a dance tonight that started with allemande N by right 1.5, w/next
balance and swat the flea, pull by back to original N for a swing. It had
Flea in the name and I think Bob Isaacs may have written it. Does anyone
have the correct name, author, moves?
These may be the moves:
A1: N Alle R 1.5, next N balance L and swat the flea.
A2: PB this N and swing original N
B1: Circle L 3/4, swing P
B2: Ladies chain, star L to progress
The other was a dance called Naked in California. Need same info.
Thanks, Rich
