I don't think you should make an ocean wave. To get a satisfying swing the dancers
will have to do the arm turns as you describe. You have three arm turns which comes to 6
beats and I always allow for two extra beats when there are busy transitions so the
dancers would get approx and 8 beat swing, maybe more with energetic, experienced
dancers.

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.
