Name 2 more from YouTube - Contra Callers

The second dance (correctly notated by David) appears to be 'Fairport
Harbor' by Paul Balliet.

Well, I can get half credit on #2.  It seems like a neat dance, like it
might be just on the line between being unconnected and ungraceful, and
being extremely smooth and flowing.  I'd try it sometime.  And that music
seems perfect for the dance.

Becket:
A1.  Men alle. L 1 1/2
     N promenade in big oval ccw (the convenient direction) A2.  Ladies turn
back (over R shoulder), gypsy the next/new N
     NS
B1.  Promenade back cw in big oval
     Ladies chain to Partner
B2.  Pass through, PS

Thanks for the link!

  Hi Callers,

 Your recent success identifying dances found on YouTube, prompts me 
 to ask
 about 2 more from YouTube. 

 (1)     On YouTube the dance is just called a Toronto contra at
 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=heu572-r9u8
 <http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=heu572-r9u8&feature=related>
 &feature=related :

 A1        Men Allemande Left (1 ? )

            Star Promenade and Butterfly Whirl

 A2        Women Gypsy Right once

            Swing Partner on the sides

 B1        Ladies Chain

            Star Left

 B2        Neighbor Balance and Swing (I think)

 (2)     Also have a look at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a6japuy6VM4
 <http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a6japuy6VM4&NR=1> &NR=1 .  I am not 
 evensure what is going on, but I like it.  Can you name this dance 
 from Folk
 Madness 2007 and confirm the figures used. For extra credit (?): 
 can anyone
 name the tune(s)?

 Thanks,

 Rickey Holt,

 Fremont, NH
