Thanks everyone for your dance brains! Flirting With Love Again by Cary Ravitz I think is the dance I had. I can't wait to try the other ones too! 

Thank you all.

It's possible that you're talking about one of the versions of Flirting with love again, by Cary Ravitz. The dance has two diagonal lady's chains, and a surprise ending in B2 where you suddenly find yourself face to face with your partner, after traveling far away from him/her. Another possibility is Reunion, by Gene Hubert. Here are my notes:

Becket-double prog. Flirting with Love Again-v.1   Cary Ravitz

A1     Long lines go forward & back                                  8

          Circle left once around                                           8

A2     Ladies chain on the left diagonal                             8

          Ladies chain on the right diagonal to their first     8

          trail buddy

B1      Star left                                                                8

          (look away from the star &) allemande right           8

          your second trail buddy 1 1/2

B2      Partners balance & swing                                      16

Becket –cw-dbl prg                   Reunion                  Gene Hubert

A1     Ladies chain on left diagonal to a new neighbor       8

          Ladies chain across the set to your shadow             8

A2    Hey for 4, ladies start, passing right                     16

B1    Partners balance & swing                                       16

B2    Circle left 3/4 w/original neighbors,                       8

          and pass through along the set to a newer set of

          neighbors with whom you…

          Circle right 3/4 to the original side of the set       8

This is reported to be the first contra to employ the ladies chain on the left diagonal.

Hello,

I've misplaced a dance from my dance box, or it's possible that I thought it was in there and it never was. I picked this dance up a few years ago at Glen Echo, and I don't remember who was calling or playing that night. 

The dance was becket (I think) and it had a series of ladies chains (straight across and diagonally) that sent the ladies far away from their partner (possibly to a shadow or trail buddy) and then in a series of circles and pass thru partners where reunited with a swing. The caller taught this dance by having the ladies imagine they were pinballs, and the gents the pinball flippers (i.e. ladies are zooming around inside the contra lines while the gents send them in new directions). I know the caller did not have the name of this dance. 

If you have heard of this dance, have it, or something similar, I would love to get a copy of it for my box. 

Thanks,

Valerie
