Rickey,
Another Roll Away dance with a hey instead of a chain is the following:
A Summers Delight Becket by Don Flaherty
A1 4,4 Circle left 1/2, Gents roll-away with a half sashay neighbor across the set
4,4 Circle left 1/2, Gents roll away with a half sashay partner along the set
A2 8 1/2 Hey Gents start pass left shoulder
8 Partner Swing
B1 8 Gents allemande left 1-1/2
8 Neighbor Swing
B2 8 Ladies chain to partner
8 Right Diagonal Right & Left Thru
Danced this on last Saturday. This is a double progression dance and you are never out of the line. Also this may already be a dance by someone else, I have not had the chance to check that out yet. A very flowy dance but be careful of your audience.
See ya,
Dan

Ladies are taking the lead, rolling their neighbor gent right to left. Flows nicely into the ladies chain.

Subject: [Callers] Roll away to ladies chain
Hi,
I danced a contra several weeks ago that had a roll-away with a half sashay
directly into a ladies chain. I assume that the lady was on the gents left
for some reason, sashayed from left to right and then started the ladies
chain, but I do not remember for sure. Perhaps it was the men that rolled
away. It may also have had something on a diagonal somewhere. I'm not sure
of that but I am sure about the roll-away into a ladies chain. SO... can
you send me any dances you have that go directly from a roll away into a
ladies chain. It was a great move, especially to a somewhat jazzy tune.
Thanks,
Rickey Holt.

Hello,
I was at Sugar Hill (Bloomington Indiana) last weekend and was intrigued by
a dance, I wonder if anyone else has this and if so can you get me the name
and author? It's a becket with alternating contra corners, and everyone gets
a partner swing in the B2.
Title?
Author?
Becket contra, single progression
A1: Circle Left 3 places,
Neighbor swing
A2: Circle Left 3 places, with partner slide left just one person so that
all are facing a same-sex neighbor. Men see the same man from the group of
four that circled together, women are facing the next neighbor woman.
Long Lines go forward and back.
B1: Ladies (men) turn contra corners
B2 Ladies (men) cross the set a final time and swing their partner on the
side.
I wonder about two places:
In the A2 I could see doing the forward and back while sliding left, but the
caller taught slide, then forward and back. Anyone know what the author
wrote?
In the B2, do the folks passing in the middle pass by the right or left
shoulders. Also, is it a balance & swing or just a swing?
Thanks!
Jerome
