I have Bob Isaacs’s dance Redbeard Reel, that I must have written down after hearing it
called. I tried to find the dance via a web search and also to contact Bob via Facebook.
Now I’m turning to this helpful and knowledgeable group for help.
Here’s the dance as I have it; my question is about B1. I’m pretty sure there’s a balance
once the dancers are in an ocean wave, and would like to have that confirmed. If I made
any (other) errors, please let me know!
Becket formation
A1 Long lines forward and back; Gents allmd Left 1 1/2
A2 Neighbor gypsy & swing
B1 Pass the ocean wave (Balance?) Pass thru along the set; with the next Mad Robin while
facing partner across
B2 Women pass Left; Partner swing.
Thanks,

Yes, there is a Balance in the B1. This actually is an important
anchor for the dancers, since they will walk forward to new neighbors
after the balance. I have the B1 written as follows:
B1 Pass through to a wave
Balance the Wave
Walk forward to N2, but Face P for a mad robin (women center first)
The rest of the dance is as you have written below. Since the
progression is in the B1, the dancers begin the dance again with these
same neighbors. It is a very enjoyable dance!

Hi Bree:
Sorry I missed you on FB, and there is a balance after the wave. You have the rest of the
dance correct. This dance was written as a birthday present from Robin Humes for her
partner John Wasser, who just happens to have a red beard -
