Hi, I've come up with what I believe to be a new dance today... or is
it? A name awaits confirmation.
I'm interested in opinion on the best starting point for the dance. I
originally wrote the first version but it requires explaining the
set-up and I prefer keeping words to a minimum while teaching. The
rotated second version begins very straightforwardly but could mix up
some dancers whom are used to heys at the end of many dances being the
progression leading to a neighbor swing with/to a new neighbor.
Thanks,
Don
DV#3 Alpha A
DI, starts with 1s below 2s (swap places with opp. role N)
A1
4,4 Long Lines Fwd, G Roll L w/HS on way back
8 Mad Robin, G start into middle first
A2
2,2 Mad Robin continued 1/4 more*, all slide to new Ns* (progression)
4,8 G Allem. Rt. 1/2, P Swing
B1
8 L Chain
8 Hey 1/2 (L start by Rt., P Lt., G Rt. ...)
B2
4,12 N Bal. & Swing
* After the 1st 2 beats of A2 there is a transitory line of 4 facing
across the hall - two G are face to face in the center, L is facing
her N's back. All slide dir. of progression w/P so at beat 4 there is
a similar line with new Ns.
The timing in the A2 is "squishy" but generous and the swing should
bring it back into phrase alignment.
At ends, wait out facing P to slide in for G allemande.

This looks like less-than-stellar body flow: first the woman rolls
backward left, then has to move forward right -- would only work well if
the man gives careful weight with correct timing. What I might try is
having the man roll R HS, with women still starting the Mad Robin. Or
the women roll with men starting Mad Robin.

It may be my notation, but I think you've misinterpreted what I intend.
While backing out, the Gents roll the Ladies from G's RH to LH and
half sashay, so the Lady is now on the left. With her RH she can now
lightly tug the G's LH to help him forward into a CCW Mad Robin while
she continues her trajectory rearwards and to the right to start it.
If felt wonderful in both roles when I tried it, but it was just a
kitchen dry run with my wife (who *does* know how to give weight in a
roll-away).

You're right, it was your notation, I thought you'd written "girls roll
left with half-sashay" instead of "gents roll ladies....".
AFAIK, there's no standardized abbreviation for choreography, I think it
probably makes more sense to avoid all but the most obvious abbreviations
when posting dances to the list. If I can't figure out the dance
abbreviations in a couple of seconds, I usually ignore the post; in this
case, I thought it was obvious, but I was wrong.

Half sashay. Guess I get the most cryptic shorthand award. :)

What I might try

having the man roll R HS, with women still
starting the Mad Robin.
Or
