The move at the beginning of B2 is usually called a "men's chain" -- at least here in Saint Louis.  It's not a common move, but it's not unheard of.

Does the roll-away into gent's leading to next set work smoothly?  I would worry about the gent's momentum being the wrong direction as a result of catching his partner.  Does the name "Slingshot" come from that move?

That being said, it looks like it would be worth a try.

I saw a dance I liked on a mail list and tried it. However, there was one move I wanted to change. In trying to change that move I found that I had completely changed the whole dance!

It works in my living room. Does it work for you? What else is similar?

SLINGSHOT
Longways improper

A1 Balance the ring, Petronella; partner swing
A2 Men pull by left and courtesy turn with neighbor; men gypsy left
B1 Neighbor gypsy right; neighbor swing
B2 Circle left 3 place, partner roll away; men lead partner along the set into
circle left 3 places with next couple

NB: The beginning of A2 is the mirror image of a ladies chain - men pull by left, courtesy turn with partner, men moving forward and ladies backward.
