[Callers] Riffing on "The Nice Combination"

[DAVID HARDING]

I think this works:


A1 N B&S

A2 Down hall, turn as couple, up hall

B1 Circle RIGHT 3/4, swing partner

B2 Gents/Larks chain, RH star


This preserves the simple turn as a couple.  The momentum of the transition from circle into swing changes in a way that might be thought of as foreshadowing the changed chain.
