One dance I do call occasionally is Eric Hoffman’s Last Swing of Summer. I like it because
there's a couple do-si-do 1 1/2 times with your partner, so I always comment to people
that as long as they are aware of their neighbors, they have 16 counts with their partner
and they should use the time wisely. Some people actually swing their way around the other
couple. Some people decide to face as in a pousette, some twirl and flourish through the
figure, and some just do it plain. It’s also easy and good for a less experienced crowd.

I cannot recall dancing a modern contra in the last few years that does not include a
Partner Swing, so I have a few questions.
First, do you call any such modern dances without a partner swing? Why or why not?
Second, if you do, do you announce it before the preceding dance so as to inform those
pairs of dancer that love to swing together?
The Tease by Tom Hinds is one such creative dance that begs to be called.
