This one is hot off the presses. Would appreciate feedback. Plan to debut this Saturday
in Portland.

Hi all,
In January, the NYC contra is holding a dance themed around "emerging
artists". I will be calling to Stunt Double (Laurie Tupper, Christopher
Jacoby, Dave Casserly, Julie Vallimont). It should be a great dance.
Anyway, in keeping with the theme, I would like to call some dances by
"emerging" choreographers. I'm currently looking for dances that fit this
loose description - "emerging" can really be defined however you want. So,
if you know of dances that you like that you think fit the bill, let me
know! Also let me know if the dances have been called before or still need
to be given a trial run.
Thanks,
Bronwyn

I like it a lot. With something strongly-phrased, should be very satisfying.

Okay, feedback:

I think the end effects are more (or arguably less) complicated, although I may
have confused myself.
- If you meet your partner in the weave (as second neighbor), pass by the
left, swing the next, and you won't be out at the end at all. (That is,
partners pass across the set at the end.)
- If you weave past 2 and the third one is your partner, you swing, open up
facing the line, and then you're out and come in 2 bars into A1, when the
next neighbor comes to you.
I _think_ that if you have an even number of couples, nobody's ever out, and
if you have an odd number, you'll alternate having one out at the top and one
out at the bottom.
Anyway, because the progression was at the beginning, there's no hurried swap.
If you have to do anything right away, you're already in place for it.

As soon as I sent that, I realized that you'll always have one out at the
bottom. (Not the same couple.) Nobody will ever get ejected and swing their
partner at the top, so there's nothing to make it flip back and forth.
Anyway, because the progression was at the beginning,
there's no hurried swap.

That's still true.
