Hi, Bill,
I'm pretty sure Cary Ravitz first developed the figure we call "gypsy
star." I know three of his dances which use the figure. "Woven Waves"
and
"Gypsy Star" were both written in May 1999. "Gypsy Waves" was written
in
2013.
I haven't seen it in many other dances. Ryan Smith and I helped Stacey
Lang write a dance with the figure called "The Fault in Our Stars." See

Dugan and all, I don't know if Cary Ravitz
actually "invented" the Gypsy
Star but he wrote a dance entitled that and a lot of others that include
it. Dugan, you're sort of Cary's protégé, right?, so you must know the
dance. This is the same figure, correct??

I put it in an English country dance to "Lisa, Lisa"' , a Tango vals by
Larry Unger. The dance is A Lean Tango.
Easy enough to teach as " Hands across star, Ladies ( or gents) backing up.)
