The idea is not new, but it is, of course, pertinent.
I’ve been looking for an old dance card I had since at least the mid 80s, for The Atomic
Contra. It, too, was a no touching dance. It’s concept was dancing after a nuclear
accident or war, and dancing with partners that were too radioactive to touch…
If I locate it, I’ll post it.

I had the same idea!
Corona Chaser
Improper duple
inspired by Honor Among Thieves by Penn Fix
A1: (8) Neighbor dosido
(8) Neighbor right shoulder round once and a half
A2: (8) Lady around two and gent around one and he cuts through
(8) Gent around two and lady around one and she cuts through
B1: (8) Hands-on-hips long lines forward and back
(8) Gypsy star left
B2: (16) Hey for four (ladies right, partners left, gents right, neighbors left), face new
neighbors
