New subject: [Callers] Mystery dance from Contracopia
I believe the correct title for the dance described below by Laur
is "Mange Tak" (not "Mange Talk", "Mongatack", or
"Manga Tok").
That's how it's spelled in the 2009 RPDLW syllabus
http://www.library.unh.edu/special/forms/rpdlw/syllabus2009.pdf
It's the correct spelling for "many thanks" in Danish, which is
what the title is based on.
The dance Maia asked about has a clear resemblance to "Mange Tak"
but also is clearly different, with more balances (which Maia
says she definitely recalls) and with no shadow allemande. It's
apparently an intentionally written variation, perhaps to achieve
a little simplification, since Maia collected it from Ron
Buchanan's calling, and it's unlikely he would unwittingly have
called a folk-processed garbling of his own dance. I don't know
whether this variation is one that Ron came up with himself nor
whether it has a more specific title than something like "Mange
Tak (variation)".

To pass through to an ocean wave: start to pass opposite by the right shoulder, ladies
catch left hands and turn just ¼ as gents walk all the way to the other side and take
right hands with the lady to form a wavy line -of- 4 across.

Jim. I also retrieved this from one of the RPDLW lists. Ron is alwasy tweaking his
dances as he finds needed. LOL. I asked him once if I could look over his "book"
and he said sure but some of them really don't work. I said, so do you have them
marked in some way, he laughed then said No.
