Nit: a "California twirl with other hands" is traditionally called a "star through".
I was inspired by the Blues Brothers version of Sweet Home Chicago to write a 24 bar Contra recently:
Short But Sweet
Becket
A1 Circle left 3/4
Swing neighbour
A2 Balance the ring
Nevada twirl with partner (California twirl with other hands)
With next couple, balance the ring
Petronella turn one place anti-clockwise
B Half hey, starting with women passing left shoulders
Swing partner
There's an animation of the dance at http://www.dancekaleidoscope.org.au/dance.html#ShortButSweet.
Are there many other 24 bar Contras?
Cheers
Keith
