Hi Ron, Thanks for "Ants Marching" - looks like a fun dance. The smooth arch-into-swing move is an old one. It occurs in dances like: = = = = = = = = = = Promenade A Trois Trios; facing AC in Circle - Man in Middle A1: Promenade B1: Man: Left Hand High, Right Hand Low: Draw Right-Hand Lady under arch and let her go - all the Right-Hand Ladies go to the middle and Circle Left; Draw Left-Hand Lady into a Swing. At the end of the Swing start Promenading as a couple - the Ladies from the middle join onto the nearest Couple to make Trios. Grabbing the man you want a swing with is allowed! = = = = = = = = = = Nice to see it in a modern contra.
