Hi Andy (and everyone) - Last fall, I was asked by a woman to surprise her man on their 1st anniv of dating -- at the dance where they met! -- by calling a sweetheart dance in their honor. (They did want gypsies &/or Mad Robin, sorry... but just to add to the valentine theme dance list, here 'tis.) This back-to-back combo turned out to be, as she put it, horrifyingly right on. Hey, why not a bit of spicy reality for the season? Ramsay Chase Improper Joseph Pimentel (dreamy jigs or old-timey) A1) (4+4) W dance into center. Form wavy line.

Hint! hint! :-)] Rock 'em, Andy!
