Hello all - I have two dances I've been calling of late, and wanted to verify they are both original to the best of our collective knowledge. Both have been satisfying to call and dance, so I also wanted to share them in the hopes that others might want to call either or both. I'm not including instructions for the Zia dance - there are already general instructions in Shared Weight for Zia set up and calling tips. Thanks, Chuck
