A1 Neighbor balance and swing A2 Long lines forward and back, ladies chain B1 Partner balance and swing B2 Circle left 3/4, balance and pass through along Michael Barraclough www.michaelbarraclough.com

I am having trouble picturing how the intended flow would be from the ladies chain into the partner balance and swing. It seems like it would be rather awkward. Sent from my iPhone On Mar 10, 2013, at 3:34 PM, Michael Barraclough <michael(a)michaelbarraclough.com> wrote:

I haven't seen that specific dance. I'm also a little puzzled by the chain to balance transition. It looks very similar to "Button Pushers", which I unfortunately don't know who wrote. They add a women DSD 1x to mediate the chain->partner swing.

Ladies chain to balance & swing works if it's done like this: ladies join right hands for a ladies chain, pull by to give left hand to your partner's left hand, partner courtesy turns his lady, keep left hands together for a left-hand-balance to swing. As ever, the teaching is all, imho.

Mac, This is very similar to Another Second TIme Around (I believe the author is Robert Cromartie), difference being in ASTA (as I have it) the A-1 is Cir L 3/4 and swing N, w/o the pass through. It is a GREAT dance, but very vigorous. best, Paul Here is a dance I collected a few years ago - but the caller did not

mention the name or author. Without that info - I haven't called it much even thought I really like the dance.

Help will be appreciated Becket A1 - Cir L 3/4 - pass thru swing next neighbor A2 Cir L 3/4 - Swing Partner B1 Lines for & back - ladies chain on left diagonal B2 - Ladies pull by right - allemand left shadow swing partner agai

Yes, the dance the Paul has shared is by Robert Cromartie. I often will change the A1 of a Becket dance from circle left 3/4 pass thru, new N swing TO (at the end of the B2 P swing) Look on the left diagonal and find the next Ns, Circle L 3/4, N swing I find the circle and pass thru to take more than 8 beats usually, which makes for a very short N swing; so the variation means the N swing is a bit longer. Of course, for some situations, such as this dance, perhaps less time swinging is preferable. Linda On Mar 11, 2013, at 1:22 PM, Paul Wilde wrote:
