Anyone have a simple wave dance where it doesn’t matter which role is in the middle of the
wave?
Kind of like Bob Isaacs’ double your fun but easier.
Thanks!

Alexandra,
From the subject line of your note I'm guessing
you're familiar with Roger
Diggle's Two Whos in the Middle, but I'm
sending it offline in case you're
not.

Hi Alex and All:
This may or not be what you're asking for, but the following role-free contra was
written where any dancer can be at any position in the wave. I learned in writing this
that it was too difficult for me to include a neighbor swing, keep it role-free, and have
all stay with their partner - Bob
Make No Assumptions Becket-L, role-free
A1. 8 Long lines forward and back
8 Circle L ¾ and pass through
A2. 8 N2 dosido 1¼ to wave/4
(1)
4,4 Balance, N2 allemande R
B1. 16 Hey (CL, PR, OL, N2R)
B2. 4 Centers pass L
12 Partner swing
Written on April 11, 2014, and first called on April 23, 2014 at Princeton, NJ. Written at
the suggestion of Paul Sawyer of Massachusetts, who was interested in role-free dances.
(1) – With centers (C) taking L hands in the center and outsides (O) taking R hands on the
side.

Do you specifically want folks in the middle of short line? Or would a long
line at the sides work as well?
Erik Hoffman's Missing Duck sets up a long lines Rory O'More with a partner
allemande. If folks over or under allemande that, then the other person is
facing in and starts the hey. It all resolves with the partner balance and
swing on the other side
Other partner Rory O'More dances would probably behave similarly, although
it might not be as smooth to set up the swap as allemande +/- an extra 1/2.

Thanks! I want more dances in my box that familiarize folks with dancing with all the
people even if they aren’t expecting it, but to have that built into the dance. So this
is for dance communities that don’t have a lot of swapping and aren’t as skilled overall.
So on the simpler side (but not boring).
So things like roger Diggle’s who’s in the middle or simple right handed gents chain
dances that get folks to do things outside their “normal”, but are still pretty easy so
they experience success with it.
Thanks for all the suggestions so far!
The harder ones are god too though, just for a slightly different purpose.
