Jim posted his dance here about a month ago, it was a subject of some
discussion for a while. The ending is as Richard Fischer had said.

Subject: Re: [Callers] Groundhog Day
I'm fairly new to Calling and fascinated with Contra dance choreography.
Below is my attempt at a Groundhog day dance. The groundhog starts his
day by looking for his shadow and so does this dance.
Groundhog Daze Becket
A1 Gypsy your shadow
Partner swing
A2 Circle left 3 places
Balance the circle, 1's make an arch, 2's dive thru
B1 Next neighbor balance and swing
B2 Long lines forward and back
Ladies allemande right 1/2, partner allemande left 3/4
I know there are thousands of dances out there so if this is not an
original, please let me know the true name.
Thanks, Jim Hemphill

Looks like the B2 is incomplete.? Do you have the last move of the dance, Bob?? It
doesn't work as written, nor with a repeat of the long lines f&b.? Thanks,
