 Hi David,

        Yes it's not fair, females get all the fun  :-)
        Here's a dance for you (maybe it already exists)

 Let's Be Fair

 A1: N Bal & Sw
 A2: Gents Left Allemand 1 1/2; P Sw (ladies must wait 8 beats doing
 nothing)
 B1: Ladies chain over and back
           (so now the gents have to wait 4+4, but optionally may twirl or
 jig
 on the spot)
 B2: Bal the ring, Petronella roll; Bal the ring, California Twirl
 note: during the first 12 beats of B2 dancers can discuss whether 4+4 = 8

 Cheers, Bill

 For what it's worth, I've been calling a very similar dance for a couple
of
years now. I don't know if it's original but I finally gave it a name last
month to keep it out of my "unknown or untitled" section. Of course, here
is no ladies-only move to balance the men's allemande, so it doesn't
address the fairness issue for Bill or David.

Save by an evil chance,
And the merry love the fiddle
And the merry love to dance. ~ William Butler Yeats
