Re: [Callers] Riffing on "The Nice Combination"

Hello all, I was programming for tonight, and looked at Gene Hubert's classic "The Nice Combination" (N B&S, Dwn 4, turn as cpls, C L 3/4, P S, Ld/robin chain, LHS); and wondered what the simplest variant that would flow well with a gents/larks chain instead of a ladies/robins chain. What I've come up with is below. Anyone got a prior on it? Anyone got a variant with a gents/larks chain they like more? The New Combination A1 ----------- (4,12) Neighbors balance and swing A2 ----------- (6) Down the hall four line (4) Pair on the right make an arch, gent/lark on the left lead through, lady/robin on the right walks to far side, inverting the line (8) Come back up the hall and bend the ends B1 ----------- (6) Circle left 3/4 (10) Partners swing B2 ----------- (8) Gents/Larks chain (pull by left, courtesy turn with neighbor) (8) Right-hand star 1x I'm planning on using Gene's original tonight in Belfast (and probably the vast majority of the time, it's a great dance); but I thought an accessible gents/larks chain would be nice. I appreciate hearing your thoughts. -- Luke Donforth Luke.Donforth(a)gmail.com <Luke.Donev(a)gmail.com> _______________________________________________ List Name: Callers mailing list List Address: Callers(a)lists.sharedweight.net Archives: https://www.mail-archive.com/callers@lists.sharedweight.net/
