Hi folks :)
As a dancer, I remember loving the feel of waves lines that balance forward
and back. However, I don't have any dances that specifically call for that.
Might you have suggestions of dances that specifically call for Bal F&B or
which often get modified for that feel of a balance?
In the Caller's Box, the thing to search for is "(F;B)":

I'm somewhat surprised to find that it returns only 3 dances:
"Balancing Act" & "Rolling Waves" by John Sweeney,
and "Remembering Louie" by Steve Zakon-Anderson.
(Of course, there are probably lots of dances in the db where forward+back
would work well, we just haven't noted it.)
