Hello all. In addition to the lovely Du Quoin Races dance by Orace Johnson, are you
familiar with any other box circulate dances that you could share? Thanks!

My favorites:
1. To my mind, the classic box circulate dance--probably because it was the
first one I ever danced!
Chinese New Year by Chris Page || improper
(adv'd)
Starts in long waves, gents face out, Ns by R
A1: bal. wave & box circulate (2x) (LX G loop; GX L loop)
A2: bal. wave & box circulate (LX G loop)
P swing
B1: circle L 3/4
N swing
B2: long lines
R to P, bal. & pull by (4)
N alle. L → long waves (4)
2. Can't for the life of me remember where I picked this one up, but it's
super fun!
Susie's Send-Off by Scott Higgs || improper*
(adv'd)
A1: long lines
gents alle. L 1 1/2 → short waves (RH to P)
A2: bal. wave, P alle. R 3/4 → long waves (ladies face out)
bal. wave & circulate (GX, L loop)
B1: bal. wave & circulate (G loop, LX)
P swing (gent's home side)
B2: circle L 3/4 & pass thru
new N swing
* starts with 1s below the 2s (technically starts reverse-indecent), but
can start teaching/calling from improper without any ill effects
3. One of my favorites--everyone gets that satisfying
cross-the-set-to-swing transition.
Double Click by Bob Isaacs || becket left (adv'd)
A1: circle L 3/4 and pass thru
new ladies alle. L 1/2 (4)
P alle. R 3/4 → long waves (ladies face in) (4)
A2: bal. wave & box circulate (LX, GL)
new N swing (on gent's home side)
B1: long lines
1/2 hey → long waves*
B2: bal. wave & box circulate (GX, LL)
P swing
* 1/2 hey = GL, PR, LL, as if to pass N2 by R but take RH instead. Wave =
N2 in RH, N1 in LH, gents facing P's back
4. Bonus: not realllllly a box circulate dance, but sorta like a box
circulate from long wavy lines in the middle? It sprung to mind when I read
this thread, so I figured I'd share!
Ellie's Pumpkin Show by Bill Olson || becket left
(adv'd)
A1: (slide L to) circle L 3/4 and make long wave of ladies
bal. wave, ladies walk fwd. (4) to spiral P 3/4 (4)
A2: circle L 3/4 and make long wave of gents
bal. wave, gents walk fwd. (4) to spiral P 3/4 (4)
B1: full hey (gents by L)
B2: P b&s

I believe that the first contra to use a box circulate was
"The Twenty-Fourth of June" by Steve Schnur. See

If you feel like mixing Box Circulate with Rory, here are two I've written
and called:

Bob Isaacs also has a really nice Rory/Box Circulate mix, which I don't
have the notes for.

As a student of calling in 1992, the first dance I called was 24th of June,
because that's my birthday.
