When a couple moves up and down the lines, we call that 'progression'.
When a couple moves ACROSS the lines, I call that 'transgression'. Not counting
four face fours (aka mescolanzas, double countras) I know of three dances that
'transgress' in some form or another:
* Out of Bounds*, Will Mentor
* Becket's Crossing, Chris Kermiet
* New and Improved, Super Ultra Snake Oil #9* (seth's riff from) Roger Diggle
What others are out there?
Seth
*Technically these are 'minor' transgressions since they only go over to the other
line and then come back. Still, they are 'crossing the line'!

Star Wars by Peter Foster has couples from each line go out and star
with couples from the next line. Does that count?

Will's Out of Bounds is a fun idea that has two versions. One is
A1. 8 Slide L and circle L ¾
8 Neighbor swing
A2. 8 Ladies chain to partner
8 Square through three and face out
B1. 8 Long lines forward and back
(1)
8 Between sets star L ¾
B2. 6 Ladies allemande R
10 Partner swing
The other is to replace the B1 with a hey (LR, NL, GR, PL) between sets. The F&B
gives couples a chance to realign for the star, while the hey will produce heys of 2, 4,
6, and other forms of chaos. Teaching tip; those ladies who allemande in B2 are the same
ones who chained in A2, which helps clean up any unwanted confusion. This is also best
with many short sets - that minimizes the time those at the far sides face no one - Bob

In the English repertoire, in Freeford Gardens and really most any dance
that has people leading out to the side of the set there is the opportunity
to loop around folks in the next set. Similarly, in progressive squares
such as grapevine twist when I'm in the couple that's last in a figure,
I'll invite my partner to momentarily join another set at the end of the
line so we're in action somewhere. All these are examples of ad lib
choreography, rather than something intended by the author, except in the
larger sense that the author intended dancers to play and have fun.
