This dance is virtually the same as Troxler’s on the Loose, by Chris Ricciotti. The only
difference in Chris’ dance is that the final move is a ladies chain.
Beth Parkes also wrote a dance that is mostly the same: Forgotten treasure. She begins the
dance with a N B&S, and ends it with a chain as well.

Hello all,
I was trying to find an easy and accessible dance, a real glossary basic contra.
I feel like this must already exist, but I'm not finding it in my notes. Someone got
a prior?
Type: Contra
Formation: Duple-Improper
A1 -----------
(8) Neighbor Do-si-do
(8) Neighbor swing, end facing down the hall
A2 -----------
(8) Down the hall, four in line (turn as couples)
(8) Return and Bend the line
B1 -----------
(6) Circle Left 3/4
(10) Partner swing
B2 -----------
(8) Long lines, forward and back
(8) Women allemande Left 1-1/2
The B2 could be W DSD 1.5, although I like the allemande for the connection for brand new
dancers. I specifically chose the left hand to leave the women facing towards their new
neighbor.
I know it's really close to a bunch of other stuff. B2 could be C L 3/4, balance and
pass through; or chain to left hand star à la The Nice Combination; etc.
Barring it already having been named by someone else, I'm going to call it
"Having Fun with PAM" to keep track of it in my box; since I just got back from
the fabulous PAMFest (Peacham Acoustic Music Festival).
Thanks.
