In addition to this important point, for the Give-and-Take dancers take only two steps
forward before one dancer is drawn back to the other dancer’s side for a swing. Larry
Jennings was particularly emphatic about the footwork. The list of good ladies-side
Give-and-Take dances is long. It includes "Mystery Dance #3" and "Wedding
Wonderland" by Linda Leslie, and "Freighthoppin’“ by Bob Dalsemer. … Robert

A lot of callers teach Give and Take as starting in long lines, but that's not how
Larry Jennings invented it. It
starts in a shoulder-waist hold - as you would have if you opened out after a swing - I
find it much more satisfactory
that way.
There are a number of dances where the ladies pull in the Give and Take, for instance
