Dear callers, Like many of you, I've collected a few dances whose titles and authors I don't know. Since I always find it interesting to read when other people post their unidentified dances, I thought I'd reciprocate. I've included the name of the caller who called them, if that helps. Does anyone recognize these? (Transcription errors are always possible; corrections are welcome.) ? 1 (from Warren Blier) becket A1 gents allemande L 1+1/2 neighbor swing A2 right and left thru ladies chain B1 circle left 3/4, pass thru up/down next ladies allemande L 1 while gents orbit 1/2 B2 partner balance, swing ? 2 (from Lisa Greenleaf) improper A1 square thru 2 up/down ((new) neighbor R, partner L) this neighbor swing A2 long lines ladies allemande R 1+1/2 B1 partner balance, swing B2 ladies chain square thru 2 across (partner R, this neighbor L) ? 3 (from Lisa Greenleaf; the author is from Denmark) becket A1 circle left 3/4, pass thru next neighbor swing A2 long lines pass thru to wave (no balance), swing thru B1 full hey, pass partner R B2 partner gypsy, swing (In the swing thru, it can flow better if gents just pass left instead of allemanding left 1/2.) ? 4 (from George Marshall) improper A1 ladies walk forward to long wave, balance ladies allemande R 1/2, balance wave A2 gents walk forward to long wave as ladies back up, balance gents allemande L 1/2, balance wave B1 gents walk forward, partner gypsy, swing B2 circle left 3/4; neighbor swing ? 5 (from Bob Isaacs, who I think is also the author) becket A1 circle left 3/4, pass thru to new neighbor single file promenade the set up/down (gents outside, ladies inside) A2 turn over right shoulder and promenade back (ladies outside, gents inside) neighbor swing B1 long lines ladies allemande R 1+1/2 B2 partner balance, swing (The tricky part is remembering who your new neighbor was.) ? 6 (from Mary Wesley) becket A1 slide left to new neighbors, ladies allemande R 1+1/2 neighbor swing A2 long lines gents allemande L 1+1/2, fall back into a ring B1 balance ring, petronella turn balance ring, petronella turn B2 partner balance, swing (Ladies should make sure to catch gents spinning out of the allemande to form a ring.)

#1 is probably a slightly tweaked "Going into Orbit" by Melanie Axel-Lute. (Original has a men's allemande in A1.)

?1 is a very slight variation on The Equal Turn by Tom Hinds. In Tom's dance the B1/ B2 is: B1 Circle left 3/4, pass thru, Women allemande left 1 1/2 B2 P B & S
