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.
