Yeah… I know. I’m not one who believes that EVERY dance must have a neighbor swing. I
think there are some incredibly fine choreographies that can happen without that
requirement. That said, I wouldn’t program an entire night of them, lest I get rode out
of town on a rail!

Jeff, that's an intricate one! I don't know that I'd run that one outside of
a challenge session.
Fun to see what you can put together when there doesn't have to be a partner &
neighbor swing ;-)

Here’s one I wrote in back in 1993 (I was ahead of my time?)
Harvesting the Hey
Becket
A1 Left diagonal, right and left thru
Straight across, right and left thru
A2 Star left once around
With the NEXT (shadow - leave partners), star right once around
B1 With the previous (the same four as the left hand star), Hey for four (ladies pass
right in the center)
B2 Partners balance and swing

Here's one I'm familiar with off the top of my head featuring that transition
(called it at NEFFA this year):
Belmont Romp - Becket - Dan Pearl (var DonV)
A1 Circle Left 3/4x, Neighbor Swing
A2 Long Lines Fwd/Back (note next N)
Star Left 1x to Gents face out, Ladies in
B1 NEXT Ns Full Hey (Ladies pass LEFT in center)
B2 Ladies Cross, Partner Swing
Dan's original is "modified DI" starting with the hey and has a Circle Left
in place of the Long Lines. Page 94 of Give and Take.

Hi folks,
I ran this at a monthly dance, and it was well received; so I figured I'd share it
around. To my knowledge it's new. Please correct me if you know of a prior.
The interesting/odd bit is the transition from B2 to A1, where the ladies role comes out
of a left hand star with old neighbors to start a hey by the left shoulder in the middle
with new neighbors. It flows well, but is unexpected.

Improper, duple minor contra
A1
Ladies start full hey by the left
A2
Neighbor gyre and swing
B1
Circle Left 3/4
Partner Swing
B2
Ladies chain across
Left Hand Star 1x
As for the title, well, I was on a presidents and folk music kick. Writing titles is
harder than writing dances...
Enjoy.
