Well, here's a stab at a Bubble Sort contra. It's just a theoretical exercise. As
with any sorting dance, I guess, a defect is that once you're sorted you just keep
dancing with the same people. (At school we danced in small groups and kids turned their
backs and stopped dancing to indicate they knew they were sorted and would not change
places anymore.)
Sort of a Contra Richard Allen Fischer duple (proper/improper irrelevant and swings can
end with either person on either side)
A1 Balance and swing neighbor
A2 Long lines fwd & back; long lines fwd and back and if shorter neighbor is not on
the right do a roll-away with a half sashay as you come back (Shorter dancer rolls to
right)
B1 Circle left; left hand star
B2 Allemande right with next neighbor, allemande left with current neighbor
Note: (if I'm picturing it right) Do not cross over at the top! Do cross over at the
bottom!
Would this work? I think I'm just adapting Jeff and Ben's dance and squishing
their U into a contra set.

I've heard people saying Will or Nils called a

(

called, but it was a contra. No word back from Nils yet. Any one on the list seen a bubble
sort contra?
