I like that, Tom.
With just a little tug from the gent to redirect the lady's momentum into
the allemande (and he can keep moving, anticipating his subsequent
allemande). The 3 x 1/2 alle becomes a neat twist.
I case anyone cares, I mind-danced Tom's idea to this tune. Very cool
result.

I don't think you should make an ocean wave. To
get a satisfying swing
the dancers will have to do the arm turns as you describe. You have three
arm turns which comes to 6 beats and I always allow for two extra beats
when there are busy transitions so the dancers would get approx and 8 beat
swing, maybe more with energetic, experienced dancers.

I am need of some choreographic gerrymandering from the braintrust.
I have the flow the way I want in a dance that first gelled about 10
years but
when some folks walked it through for me, more recently, they
said, "uh, Ken, I'm not swinging my N, it's my P."
"Dang," said I.
Here's the dance. the problem is "How do I get neighbours who are beside
each other in an ocean wave (A1) to the other side of the set for a swing?"
(A2) (short of calling on Mr. Scott for a teleport)
So, I need the first half of A2.
Return from Vulcan Becket
A1 (8) Cir L 1.0
(8) Slide left and cir 3/4 the next couple to a wavy line.
A2 (4,6,8?) (balance wave, not critical) get gent to other side of set
with
neighbour [hmmm... Ladies alle L 1/2, P alle R 1/2, Gents alle L 1/2 -
I'm not convinced]
(12,10,8?) N Swing
B1 (8) Gents alle L 1.5
(8) Scoop P in star promenade/B'fly Whirl
B2 (8) Ladies alle R 1.5 while gents orbit CCW
(8) P Swing
Thanks for any ideas.
