In typing this out, I saw I typed it wrong:
The dance I was suggesting was:
A1 (8) Pass through across to an ocean wave, balance the wave (ladies have lh, RH with
partner)
(8) Walk forward to new person and gypsy once around (or dosido,but I like the gypsy
here much better)
A2 (8) Return to partner and taking RH w/partner in a wave, balance the wave (g in
center)
(8) Gents Allemande Left 1/2, balance the wave
B1 (4) Walk forward to new Neighbor
(12) Neighbor swing
B2 (4) Give & Take (go forward, women bring partner back to their side of the set)
(12) Swing Partner on Women¹s side
But the B2 is wrong and needs to be changed. Should be like this:
B2 (4) Give & Take (go forward, gents bring partner back to their side of the set)
(12) Swing Partner on Gent's side
Sorry - was in a hurry when I transcribed it. This is, however, a different dance that
the one Bob is attributing to Leslie. A variant, perhaps?

Hi Will,
I am not familiar with the dance, but there are errors in the transcription that I think I
can shed some light on. The dance as I have it diagrammed should read like this:
A1 (8) Pass through across to an ocean wave, balance the wave (ladies have lh, rh with
partner)
(8) Walk forward to shadow and gypsy once around (or dosido,but I like the gypsy here
much better)
A2 (8) Return to partner and taking RH w/partner in a wave, balance the wave
(8) Gents Allemande Left 1/2, balance the wave
B1 (4) Walk forward to new Neighbor
(12) Neighbor swing
B2 (4) Give & Take (go forward, women bring partner back to their side of the set)
(12) Swing Partner on Women¹s side
The diagramming of the choreography of the dance you described did not fit, but this fits
the flow, and progresses. Unfortunately, I do not have the title or author of the dance.
Perhaps someone else on the list will recognize it?

I was going through some notes jotted down during various dances and I came
across a dance with no name that was attributed to Chris Ricciotti. I
thought it was from a night that Lisa Greenleaf was calling but I've checked
with both Chris and Lisa and neither one recognizes it.
It was an interesting dance, but when I try to work it out based on my
notes, it¹s clear that something is not correct, specifically the A2, plus
the end of B2 is a very short swing if you actually go Forward, can do a
G&T. Does this look familiar to anyone and can you help me out with
corrections, name and author?
Thanks,
Will Loving
