Hi Keith,
Nice dance! I think the notes in your email are different from the
animation though. In the first part of B2, your animation shows the men
allemanding with each other, not with their next neighbors (who would be
ladies). Is the intended instruction? It's a fun idea. Next time I am
calling to a group of capable dancers, I'll give it a try.
A similar figure with the gent-only interaction moving up/down the line
also occurs in Jim Hemphill's "Steam Train" and "Raindrops on a
Chain" (
http://www.childgrove.org/mo-dances/jim-hemphill ). I've been trying to
write a variation on Steam Train which alternates between the women doing
the key figure (same-sex interaction up the line) and the men (as written),
but it hasn't quite converged yet....

Hi Everyone
My latest dance for your enjoyment, with an animation at
http://www.dancekaleidoscope.org.au/dance.html#Ophidian.
Ophidian
Keith Wood September 2018
Becket formation, double reverse progression
The snakelike move for the men to reunite with their partners inspired
this dance, and its name. If there's a spare couple at the bottom they
wait together on the "men's" line. The woman joins in from the diagonal
ladies chain, while the man joins in from the snake.
A1 ?? Men allemande left once around, while women orbit clockwise half-way
? ?? ?? Swing opposite
A2??? On the left diagonal, ladies chain to shadow
? ?? ?? Opposite do-si-do left shoulder
B1 ?? Star left once around
? ?? ?? Star right once around
B2 ?? Snake: Men allemande right 5/8, next neighbour allemande left 1/2,
next neighbour allemande right 1/2 to face partner; man coming out at
the end loop right and rejoin immediately
? ?? ?? Swing partner
Cheers
Keith
