Since my last mystery dance question got answered in a flash: I've been
going through some old papers and finding all these dances I wrote down at
various contras that don't have titles or authors attached. Any thoughts?
1) (improper: begin in long wavy lines with women facing in)
A1: Rory O'Moore
A2: (balance and?) swing neighbor (in RH)
B1: men by L 1 1/2; partner swing
B2: pass through to an ocean wave and balance (8)
men go on; women allemande L 1/2 (4); new neighbor turn R into long waves
(4)
(was called at the most recent Dawn Dance)
2) (improper)
A1: neighbor balance and swing
A2: ladies chain; pull by partner L to gypsy shadow once
B1: partner balance and swing
B2: circle L 3/4; neighbor allemande R 1 1/2
3) (improper)
A1: neighbor balance and swing
A2: pass the ocean, balance; neighbor alle R 1/2, men alle L 1/2
B1: partner gypsy; partner swing
B2: circle L 3/4; pass through, next neighbor do-si-do
4) (improper)
A1: neighbor box the gnat (no balance), gents pull by L; partner swing
A2: circle left once; partner dosido once
B1: partner box the gnat (no balance), women pull by L; neighbor swing
B2: right and left through; star L
5) (becket)
A1: (slide left to) circle L 3/4; neighbor swing
A2: right and left through; ladies chain
B1: balance ring and spin to swap (2x)
B2: partner balance and swing
Also, does anyone happen go have the dances Baracky Mountain High (author
unknown) or Young Adult Rose (David Kaynor)?
Thank you for your lovely collective wisdom!

I have put titles and authors before all of the dances. And yet
another plu for Caller's Companion! The program makes it very, very
easy to identify dances.
I don't have the two dances in my collection that you mention.

Thanks for the titles, Linda. There is a correction on one of the dances:
West by Mid-West by Carol Ormand
3) (improper)
A1: neighbor balance and swing
A2: pass the ocean, balance; neighbor alle R 1/2, men alle L 1/2
B1: partner gypsy; partner swing
B2: circle L 3/4; pass through, next neighbor do-si-do
In her book The Lizard Research Institute, Carol gives the A2 as
A2. Long lines forward and back
Pass the ocean, neighbor alle R 1/2, men alle L 1/2
There is no wave balance after passing the ocean. Not only is the timing better, Carol is
copying the pass the ocean-swing through commonly seen in MWSD -

I believe David Kaynor told the story that, since the baby Rose had grown
up and was no longer a baby, he revised the title of that dance to be more
accurate: the Young Adult Rose.

I was at the Montpelier dance when he called "Young Adult Rose". It's a
variation on "The Baby Rose".
Dup imp
A1 N Bal. & Sw
A2 Cir. L 3/4, pass thru
Shadow Al. L 1x
B1 P Bal. & Sw
B2 Ladies Chain
LH Star 1x
It's identical to "Baby" except for the A2.
