Well, I can get half credit on #2. It seems like a neat dance, like it
might be just on the line between being unconnected and ungraceful, and
being extremely smooth and flowing. I'd try it sometime. And that
music seems perfect for the dance.
Becket:
A1. Men alle. L 1 1/2
N promenade in big oval ccw (the convenient direction)
A2. Ladies turn back (over R shoulder), gypsy the next/new N
NS
B1. Promenade back cw in big oval
Ladies chain to Partner
B2. Pass through, PS
Thanks for the link!
