Re: [Callers] New (?) dance, B1 balance, B2 balance and partner swing

Hi All: As Luke noted, there are two dances with similar names. The first is: Return to Sender Becket-L, double, 7/18/00 A1. L diagonal R and L through, ladies chain to neighbor A2. Hey (LR, PL, GR, NL) - give R to N B1. Balance, box the gnat and pull by R, gents allemande L 1 1/2 B2. Partner balance, swing On 5/19/03 I wrote Return 2 Sender, the same dance below that Luke re-discovered. With a neighbor swing and a single progression, this is objectively better. For both I offer the following teaching tip: at the end of the hey take R with neighbor and have all face across, so for Return 2 Sender the ladies are back to back. Then have all take a small step to their L as the ideal position to finish the hey (if facing across is 12 o'clock/6 o'clock, then slightly L of across is 1 o'clock/7 o'clock). Then after the box the gnat and pull by, the ladies have a clearer path into the allemande L - Bob BecketA1Circle left 3/4Neighbor swingA2Gents start hey for 4 by leftB1Right to neighbor (women back to back in middle), balance and box gnatPull by right, women allemande left 1 1/2B2Partner balance and swingSlide left Happy dancing -- Luke Donforth Luke.Donforth(a)gmail.com
