I know it's not what she intended, but here's what comes to my mind from a
literal interpretation of the original instructions:
A1 Right hand star with (current) neighbors,
Left hand star with (previous) neighbors
A2 Go back to (current neighbor) and swing,
Ladies roll away to partner swing
B1 Gents chain, starting with a left hand (the free hand) pull-by, courtesy
turn with gent on left walking forward
Gents chain back
B2 Circle L 3/4, pass through
It's not a good dance like this, though -- too busy, too dizzy, and the
B2/A1 transition is awkward. I suppose this might stand as a cautionary
example for anyone reconstructing dances from the historical record; the
intended dance as recorded by Don is different from this particular minimal
literal reconstruction.

Last night at bedtime my 5 year old daughter and I had
the following
interaction:
Raeden: "Daddy. I want to write a new dance, Pony Fun."
Me: "OK, how does it go?"
R: "Star, Star, Swing. Swing, Courtesy Turn, Circle 3 places, Pass
Through, repeat."
A little bit of back and forth figuring out the glue resulted in the
following. Has someone else written it first?
Thanks,
