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
