David, you're thinking of Stretching the Limits (men chain version) and Stretching the LImits (women chain version). You're very creative, thinking of switching each time. A caller, Will Martin has come up with that very idea. The progression is in the same direction and has half heys instead of full heys. He calls his version Stretching the Limits of Truth. I probably won't be able to find my copy and will ask him for his. I doubt it's every been called although it works on paper! Tom On Mar 26, 2017, at 10:26 PM, David Harding via Callers wrote:

Dave, I believe there's a simple fix that'll retain the balance of your dance - but it's double progression. Split your heys into halves with the first half being on the diagonal (progresssion) and then straight across. -Don On Mon, Mar 27, 2017 at 8:49 AM, David Harding via Callers < callers(a)lists.sharedweight.net&gt; wrote:

Hi Maia, Here are a few for your consideration: 13ème avenue*, improper, Aug 2016 Start: 2s step up between 1s, then all turn to face down in line-of-4 A1 1-4 Down the hall, California Twirl 5-8 Up the hall, Butterfly whirl (3/4 or 1-1/4) to end facing across A2 1-4 W gypsy R-sh 1-1/2 to Partner 5-8 Partner swing B1 1-4 Long line forward; turn single back R-sh and extend R arm into… 5-8 Star R 1x B2 1-4 With partner, slide L along line (2), circle L 3/4 with new neighbors (6) 5-8 (new) neighbor swing (end facing down) (Note: in B2 it helps if partners face across set, take inside hands for slide) (* - this is French for 13th avenue, where I lived in Montreal – to hear it, go to https://translate.google.com/#auto/fr/13th%20avenue) Allemandery my Dear Watson, improper, Jun 2015 A1 1-4 (new) Neighbors allemande R 1-1/2 5-8" Gents allemande L 1-1/2 (end facing partner in line of 4) A2 1-4 1/2 hey, partners start R-sh (PR, WL, NR, ML, into...) 5-8 Partner swing B1 1-4 Women allemande R 1-1/2 5-8 Neighbor swing B2 1-4 Long lines fwd + back ("half-roll"* the women into...) 5-8 Neighbors allemande L 1-1/2 (onto to new neighbors) * Half-roll - gents roll the ladies to the L with the women ending facing out, while the men transfer the ladies’ L hand from the gent's R to his L to lead into the allemande) Barbara's Cascade, improper, advanced* A1 1-2 Gents allemande L 3/4 to neighbor (4) 3-4 On the diagonal+, allemande neighbor R 1x (4) 5 Gents pull-by L to partner (2) 6-7 On the diagonal+, allemande partner R 1x (4) 8 Gents pull-by L to neighbor (2) A2 1-4 Gents scoop up neighbor and butterfly twirl 2x (if they can) ending on gent's original side facing across 5-8 Women gypsy R-sh 1-1/2 to partner B1 1-8 Partners balance and swing B2 1-4 Pass thru across set, California twirl 5-8 Circle L 1/4 (only) and zig-zag L + R to new cpl (so gents can flow into A1) * A1 has a high piece count and very little recovery time. B2 timing is a bit fuzzy with extra time allowing for those who start B2 5-8 a little slow. + The original concept for A1 was to have the gents to a diagonal contra corners with the women as the “corners”. I found mentioning this up front only confused people, and the dancers tend to “flatten” the diagonals anyway. Since the dancers are always right, that’s what the dance became. 😊 Pinehurst Road, improper, intermediate A1 1-4 Gents allemande L 3/4; balance neighbor 5-8 Neighbor swing A2 1-4 Circle L 3/4 5-8 Partner swing B1 1-4 Long lines fwd + back 5-8 Star R 3/4 B2 1-2 Partners allemande R 3/4 into wavy line up/down the set (women in ctr by L) 3-6 Women allemande L 1-1/2 while gents orbit CW 1/2 7-8 Partners allemande R 3/4 (so that gents face new neighbors) The B2 borrowed a figure from English Country dance Fentalarick. Once they figure out the timing, dancers seem to really enjoy it.

Hi choreographer folks, I'm leading a session at NEFFA called "Cutting-Edge Contras", consisting of un-premiered (or very sparsely called) contras. If anyone has any dances they'd like to throw my way for consideration, please do so! Cheers, Maia
