Here are a few. Bevy of Butterflies is a wonderful dance that has two star promenades. I
don't have "Through the Looking Glass" however.

Technical note on the B2:
The original intent was
B2: Women star promenade neighbor to other side (women's left arm
above man's right arm) [4]
Clockwise butterfly whirl [4]
Butterfly whirl melts into a neighbor swing [8]
(explaining why the woman's arm should be above)
Who knows what folk process will do to it, though....

Hi Jeffrey and SW;
A couple more from me. The first is the twin on the one Rich and
Chris mentioned, with partner and neighbor swing switched;
On Top of the Whirled Becket-R
A1. Gents allemande L 1 1/2 - scoop up neighbor
Star promenade, butterfly whirl
A2. Ladies gypsy R, neighbor swing
B1. R and L through
On R diagonal new ladies allemande R 1 1/2 - scoop up partner
B2. Star promenade, butterfly whirl into partner swing
In B1 while the ladies allemande the gents need to slide 2-3 steps to
the L to be scooped, and just like Bevy, star prom with the lady's L
arm on top.
The next one is brand new, although it looks like it could have been
written before. I have been unable to find it in the usual
references, but if someone knows of this let us know;
Trip to Mansfield Improper
A1. Neighbor balance, swing
A2. Circle L 3/4, partner swing
B1. Gents allemande L 1 1/2 - scoop up neighbor, star promenade,
butterfly whirl
B2. Hey (LR, PL, GR, NL)
Switching the swings here gives a dance similar to Heart of Glass.
This was written for a medley contest for the upcoming NEFFA festival
in Mansfield, MA. Even with tihs dance, my medley wasn't selected -
better ones by Lynn Ackerson and Bob Golder got the nod. But I'm
happy to lose any contest if it means writing one like this.
