Here’s one of mine with a couple of variations. <>
Gateway to Julian #3 <>
Becket
September 9, 2015
A1 Slide left and circle left ¾
Swing your neighbor
A2 Women chain
Chain back
B1 Mad robin, woman moving to left in front of neighbor
Men gate neighbor woman forward and around
B2 Women gypsy (or allemande) right 1 ½
Swing your partner
Alternate A2: full hey. If the full hey option is used it might be better to switch the
B1, as in Gateway to Julian #5, with the gate first followed by the mad robin. Or not.
After debuting this dance, one woman told me that at first she thought it would be too
English Country, but then she really liked it.

I'd like to hear examples of contra dances with combos of Mad Robins with Lady/Raven
figures, such as:
Chain
Mad Robin (Counterclockwise)
Ravens Alle R / DSD / Lead a hey
Or especiall a Mad Robin progression to Mad Robin with a Lady/Raven role on either/both
end.
Thanks,
Ron Blechner
