Hi Everyone

My latest dance for your enjoyment, with an animation at 
http://www.dancekaleidoscope.org.au/dance.html#Ophidian.

Ophidian
Keith Wood September 2018
Becket formation, double reverse progression

The snakelike move for the men to reunite with their partners inspired 
this dance, and its name. If there's a spare couple at the bottom they 
wait together on the "men's" line. The woman joins in from the diagonal 
ladies chain, while the man joins in from the snake.

A1    Men allemande left once around, while women orbit clockwise half-way
         Swing opposite
A2    On the left diagonal, ladies chain to shadow
         Opposite do-si-do left shoulder
B1    Star left once around
         Star right once around
B2    Snake: Men allemande right 5/8, next neighbour allemande left 1/2, 
next neighbour allemande right 1/2 to face partner; man coming out at 
the end loop right and rejoin immediately
         Swing partner

Cheers

Keith
