This sounds like Paul Balliet's Fairport Harbor. When calling this, I
suggest that the ladies must turn out of the promenade on time or risk
leaving the waiting man waiting too long. Because of the big set promenade,
I associate it in my cards with Gene Hubert's Gang of Four.

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!

Hi Callers,
Your recent success identifying dances found on YouTube, prompts me
to ask
about 2 more from YouTube.
(1) On YouTube the dance is just called a Toronto contra at
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=heu572-r9u8
<http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=heu572-r9u8&feature=related>
&feature=related :
A1 Men Allemande Left (1 ? )
Star Promenade and Butterfly Whirl
A2 Women Gypsy Right once
Swing Partner on the sides
B1 Ladies Chain
Star Left
B2 Neighbor Balance and Swing (I think)
(2) Also have a look at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a6japuy6VM4
<http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a6japuy6VM4&NR=1> &NR=1 . I am not
evensure what is going on, but I like it. Can you name this dance
from Folk
Madness 2007 and confirm the figures used. For extra credit (?):
can anyone
name the tune(s)?
Thanks,
Rickey Holt,
Fremont, NH
