Michael,
How does Tony's dance get the dancers in position for the right-and-left through in
B1?
Coming up the hall, the ladies are on the wrong (left) side of the gents
So just turning to face across, people are in the wrong orientation
The right-and-left through has the ladies on the right, which they won't be here
Unless Tony's dance has them turn as couples, not turning alone as in Jane's
dance?
Regards,
Mark Widmer

Its not in my stack either. However, it is quite similar to Inflation Reel
by Tony Parkes. A1 and A2 are the same and Inflation Reel has your B2 as
it's B1.

For various reasons I need a dance with these moves and find nothing in my

Does anyone recognize this combo as being an existing dance and if so can
you please give me title and author.
Thanks.

Does anyone have notation for Ken Haltenhoff's "Flying Waffles"? I've
written Ken about it but he's not been calling for a while and doesn't have
his dance cards handy. Ken used to call this in the DC area and at the
Bluemont dance in the mid-80s...

Here's the dance as sent to me by Dan Pearl and confirmed by Ken:
Flying Waffles (Becket)
By Ken Haltenhoff
A1. Cir L 3/4; Bal; Men pass Rsh
A2. Sw pt
B1. W ch over and back
B2. W almd R 3/4; W almd L next W 1/2 while M move R; balance to diamond
with M facing across with partner on R; circle R 3/8
Alternate by Walter Lenk:
A1. Balance ring; Cir L 3/4; M pass Rsh
A2. Bal & Sw pt
Comments from Ken on the dance and Walter Lenk's variation:
"I like the way momentum builds with the circle right and then directly into
the circle left in the transition from B2 to A1, a balance there interrupts
the flow, I think, and when you're moving toward your partner at the end of
A1, both of you in motion, who needs to balance, you just sweep into each
other's arms (oh god, could love ever be that simple!)! I envisioned a twirl
as men pass R shoulders in A1, and men turning over their left shoulder as
they negotiate the set to their partners in B2. I do like this dance. There
is no perfect contradance but I like the ones where you keep moving all the
time, no hesitations and stutter steps, and a partner swing is an absolute
necessity."
Ken and I also discussed an alternate B2 which he thought was an interesting
possibility:
Balance the ring and then Petronella twirl 3/8 to progressed positions
However, I think this looses the connection with the name of the dance which
always made me think of someone cocking their arm on direction (the Circle
Right 3/8) and then throwing the waffle the other direction with the Circle
Left.

Hi all,
I called this dance on Saturday night and offer the following comments.
Overall, the dance flowed nicely and got good reviews from the dancers.
A1: There aren't quite enough moves for the music, especially as the circle
3/4 already has momentum going from the previous circle 3/8. As a result...
A2: ...the partner swing started 2-3 beats early making for a very long
swing. Several dancers suggested making the A2 a balance and swing.
B1: No problems / comments
B2: Had a little trouble in the walkthrough getting the women to orient
themselves after the almd L 1/2. Part of it was me not using the correct
words and part of it was the slightly different feel of the diamond, so
there was no "muscle memory" as to where to face to make the diamond. I
found that asking the women who left allemanded each other to turn to face
each other coming out the allemand worked nicely. I also found that when I
started stressing that the diamond was with new neighbors (the progression)
that the dancers were more comfortable knowing they were in the right
place. You will also have to keep reminding the gents to move right while
the ladies are having their fun. Having said that about the teaching, once
the dancers understood the move, it was a very satisfying moment to come out
of the allemendes and being away from one's partner and have everyone
reappear in the diamond. If you're teaching this to newer dancers, the
diamond will need some explaining.
Lots of nice comments from the dancers. I asked the band to start with a
jig and move to a reel. The reel kicked a bunch of energy into the second
half of the dance.
Hope this helps.
