All I can say is - walk it through, or dance it. You'll find that in
the B2 the lady must draw the gent back to her side of the set for the
swing. I have called it several times, including a No-Circle Becket
session at NEFFA. The Fabulous Couple is a useful dance for callers who
like to assemble a varied program of dances, without too many shared
elements repeated from dance to dance, since it is constructed without
any circles, chains, or gents allemandes. Most importantly, it's a very
enjoyable dance. ... Bob

Robert,
It looks like the give and take has the swing on the gents side for a
proper progression.

I was going through some notes jotted down during various dances and
I came
across a dance with no name that was attributed to Chris Ricciotti. I
thought it was from a night that Lisa Greenleaf was calling but I've
checked
with both Chris and Lisa and neither one recognizes it.
It was an interesting dance, but when I try to work it out based on my
notes, it’s clear that something is not correct, specifically the A2,
plus
the end of B2 is a very short swing if you actually go Forward, can
do a
G&T. Does this look familiar to anyone and can you help me out with
corrections, name and author?
Thanks,
