I call Le Brandy or 1 2 3 Poussez as well, but I time it so we count 1, 2, 3, at the end of A2 and say POUSSEZ and push off at the top of B1. I think I end up using a half dosido to make it fit.
My other favorite is called May Day Sashay. It's done in contra formation, but groups of 3 facing each other
I got it from Sherry Nevins, but I don't know that she wrote it. Anyone know a source?
Gender is not a thing in this one.
each person has a number, 1, 2 or 3. 1 on caller L, 2s in middle, 3s on callers R
A1 Sashay 4 steps L and 4 R
take hands 6 and circle R 1 x
A2 Sashay 4 steps R and 4 L
take hands 6 and circle L 1x
B1 1s swing each other, 2s swing each other
3s swing each other
ALL END THE SWINGS HAVING TRADED PLACES
B2 take hands in lines of 3 and 4 steps Forward and back
right high, left hand low and turn around to face the new
(middle person, still holding hands with the other 2, raises R hand to make and arch, the L hand person, still holding on, crosses in front and goes under that arch, the R hand person crosses in front, the middle person turns under their own R arm and they face a new 3 some)
Enjoy!
