Interesting!

Sorry to nitpick, but how did the B2 go?  It appears there are 12 counts in the first half of B2 (allemande 1 1/2 = 12 counts).  Are you encouraging them just to cheat in the extra beats by doing the allemandes faster?  Did that create the scrambles?

I've put together a dance with stars, orbits, shifting waves and Rorys, but no planets (circles). Here it is:

Aurora O’More

Becket

A1 (8) Rights and lefts
   (8) Left hand star
A2 (8) Women allemande left once around WHILE men turn out and orbit clockwise halfway to short wavy lines (right hand with neighbour)
   (8) Balance right and left, then Rory O'More slide right
B1 (8) Balance again, then pass through to a new wavy line (left hand to new neighbour, men right hands in the middle)
   (8) Balance left and right, then Rory O'More slide left
B2 (8) Allemande right just halfway, then men allemande left once around WHILE women orbit clockwise halfway
   (8) Swing partner

I tried it last night and it went fairly well. Some people were not very familiar with the orbit move, which resulted in
some interesting scrambles.
