[Callers] Gents doing "ladies" chain

[Maia McCormick via Callers]

While we're at it, I've got one as well:

Too Many Joshes <http://contra.maiamccormick.com/dances.html#toomanyjoshes>
 (improper)
*Starts with a wavy line of gents in the center*
*A1:* gents bal. L then R, allemande L 3/4
neighbor swing
*A2:* ladies allemande R 1 1/2
partner swing
*B1:* gents chain by L (to N)
circle L 3/4
*B2:* gents chain by R (to N)
gents allemande R 1 1/4 to a long wave (taking L with a new gent)
*Notes: Written late Feb. 2016 for Michal Richardson (in reference to the
state of our local dance), and workshopped at NEFFA ‘16. The parameters I
was given was that the dance have a lot of action for the gents, and be as
confusing and counter-intuitive as possible–I hope I’ve managed this while
achieving flow at the same time. The chain in B1 looks like a typical
gents’ chain (gents begin and end on the left), while in B2, the gents do a
typical “ladies’ chain”, beginning and ending on the RIGHT.*
