For title, might I suggest "The Dixie Combination"? The couple trading figure is often called a Dixie Twirl, and there already exist "A New Combination" and "The Nice Combination".

Hello all, 

I was programming for tonight, and looked at Gene Hubert's classic "The Nice Combination" (N B&S, Dwn 4, turn as cpls, C L 3/4, P S, Ld/robin chain, LHS); and wondered what the simplest variant that would flow well with a gents/larks chain instead of a ladies/robins chain. 

What I've come up with is below. Anyone got a prior on it? Anyone got a variant with a gents/larks chain they like more?

The New Combination

A1 -----------
(4,12) Neighbors balance and swing
A2 -----------
(6) Down the hall four line
(4) Pair on the right make an arch, gent/lark on the left lead through, lady/robin on the right walks to far side, inverting the line
(8) Come back up the hall and bend the ends
B1 -----------
(6) Circle left 3/4
(10) Partners swing
B2 -----------
(8) Gents/Larks chain (pull by left, courtesy turn with neighbor)
(8) Right-hand star 1x

I'm planning on using Gene's original tonight in Belfast (and probably the vast majority of the time, it's a great dance); but I thought an accessible gents/larks chain would be nice.

I appreciate hearing your thoughts.
