Hello all - I have two dances I've been calling of late, and wanted to verify they are
both original to the best of our collective knowledge. Both have been satisfying to call
and dance, so I also wanted to share them in the hopes that others might want to call
either or both. I'm not including instructions for the Zia dance - there are already
general instructions in Shared Weight for Zia set up and calling tips. Thanks, Chuck

noted it below.

In response to a question from one caller, I need to clarify the wording at the end of
"Caller's Delight" which was ambiguous - it should say "with these
N". The progression occurs when everyone balances the wave and walks forward to swing
P. After that swing, everyone is facing new neighbors. The dance starts over with these
new neighbors.
