I called the dance last night, and it worked very well - it's a keeper.
There was a little tendency for the dancers to finish early, and therefore
begin the Dos-a-do early. I traced this back to the fact that the figure
before the zig zag is a circle left 3/4. The dancers were accomplishing that
is 6 steps and starting (and finishing) the zig zag early. The music was
quite zesty, and the dancers were stepping This wasn't a big problem, and I
was able to fix it by timing my calls differently.
Betty's Night Out
Rich Goss
Improper, Double Prog
A1: Neighbor Dosido and Swing (end facing down hall)
A2: Down hall 4-in-line(4), turn as couples(4); Return(4), hand cast (gents
backing up, 4 counts)
B1: 1/2 Hey, Gents Ricochet Back (Ladies cross rt sh) Partner swing
B2: Circle Left 3/4, As Couples, zig left past current N, zag right around
next N, zig left to couple #3
Regarding the timing in A2, I encouraged the dancers to (a) only take 4 steps
down the hall, and (b) use a courtesy turn. This sets up the timing for the
up the hall and hand cast.
(The hand cast takes 4 full counts, so therefore the up-the-hall can only be 4
steps.)
I had another problem in that some of the gents didn't do the ricochet
correctly, but that was my fault for not demonstrating the oval pattern that
is required.

The hand cast or gate or wheel around should take place in A2:
A2: Down hall 4-in-line (4), turn as couples (4); return (4), wheel around
(M back up)
Isn't the usual timing for a down the hall:? down in 4 (6), turn (4), return
(6) ?
I like what you are proposing though.

When I've done a dance with a hand cast out of the back up the hall,
it's generally ended up
Down the hall (4 and a bit)
Turn (4 less a bit)
Return (4 and a bit)
Cast (4 less a bit)
The timing can be a bit flexible. In addition, the cast will flow right
into the Hey and so that timing will be a bit squishy too.

I would refer to the action by saying "as couples, weave past two couples,
finish facing 3rd couple". Of course, I come from a square dance background
where we "weave the ring". This would merely be a derivation of that call.
What I'm not clear on is the richochet. I've heard the term, but am not sure
of the execution. Care to elaborate?

Right. Another way to describe it would be:
As couples zig-zag past 2 N couples, moving left around #1 (current), right
around #2, face the #3 (to A1: dosido).
Let me know how it goes if you call it.

The ladies perform the 1/2 hey, crossing the set.?
The gents start the 1/2 hey, but meet in the center, touch hands, and bounce
back (or Richochet) ?to their same side.

Rich ~
I don't know the answer to your question about whether the dance has
been written, but could you explain the B2 zig-zag figure? Does it
mean that as a couple, you pass by the next couple to the left (women
pass), then next couple by the right (men pass) and the next by the
left (women pass), then get ready to do-si-do a new neighbor for the
next time through?
I might try it this weekend. Thanks,

Start a hey, ladies pass R, pass P by L on outside, gents meet and then
bounce back to end up on their partner's left for the swing (it can be
nice if the lady catches her partner for the swing.
