Hi Amy,
You asked about the 40-bar dance.
The dance I am currently working on is " Ladies Walk Around Their Contra "
http://contrafusion.co.uk/Dances/FormationsDances.html#LadiesWalk
I was at a dance on New Year's Eve where it was called and realised it was a new
formation for me. It is a Becket dance for Trios (Lady-Man-Lady). It is Formation #102

I don't know who wrote it. Does anyone know?
A good 40-bar tune will also be useful for:
"Major Hey" by Erik Hoffman

“Apple Pie Quadrille” by Ron Beeson

"Not So Solitary" by me (Nine dancers in a 3x3 grid doing lots of Heys)
Thanks.
Happy dancing,
John
