If you haven't done so, take a look at Cary Ravitz's web site on contra dance choreography.  His discussion of black boxes might help in situations like this where you need a combination to get from one place to another.  http://www.dance.ravitz.us/chor.php#m

I am need of some choreographic gerrymandering from the braintrust.

I have the flow the way I want in a dance that first gelled about 10 years but when some folks walked it through for me, more recently, they said, "uh, Ken, I'm not swinging my N, it's my P."

"Dang," said I.

Here's the dance. the problem is "How do I get neighbours who are beside each other in an ocean wave (A1) to the other side of the set for a swing?" (A2) (short of calling on Mr. Scott for a teleport)

So, I need the first half of A2.

Return from Vulcan  Becket

A1 (8) Cir L 1.0

      (8) Slide left and cir 3/4 the next couple to a wavy line.

A2 (4,6,8?) (balance wave, not critical) get gent to other side of set with neighbour [hmmm... Ladies alle L 1/2, P alle R 1/2, Gents alle L 1/2 - I'm not convinced]

      (12,10,8?) N Swing

B1 (8) Gents alle L 1.5

     (8) Scoop P in star promenade/B'fly Whirl

B2 (8) Ladies alle R 1.5 while gents orbit CCW

      (8) P Swing

Thanks for any ideas.
