I always understood the "interruption" was the balance between two pull bys
the square thru 4. So, perhaps pedantically, by definition a balance and 2
pull bys has no "interruption".
In dance,

An often occurring issue.
Considering the great financial gains a new contradance will not bring its
author, the ostensibly amorphous, unspoken tradition allows staking a
"new dance" claim upon significantly changing a distinctive 50% of a
dance. Of course the music industry has no such tradition.

Hey all,
Long time lurker, first time poster.
This dance came to me on a hike. It's based on my favorite knock-knock
joke as a kid and the wonderful dance "Cows are Watching" by Bill Pope and
Judy Goldsmith.
Knock-Knock. *Who's there?* Interrupting cow. *Interrupting cow wh-*
MOOOO!
I haven't tested it and I don't *really *know if it counts as a "new"
dance, but I think it's funny and wanted to share it with someone who might
appreciate it!
Cheers,
Sam
Interrupting Cow by Sam Winter
Contra / Becket / CCW
*based on "Cows are Watching" by Bill Pope and Judy Goldsmith*
A1: (8) Interrupted Square Through Two (NR, PL)
(8) Interrupted Square Through Two (NR, PL)
A2: (4) Neighbor balance across the set
(12) Larks draw Neighbor across and swing
B1: (4) Balance ring
(4) With Partner across, Robins roll away, Larks half sashay
(8) Zig left, zag right to N2
B2: (8) Larks allemande left 1 (and a bit) with new Lark
(8) Partner swing
Notes: I like the *idea *of starting with the B1 (so the interruption
happens in the middle), but not sure I really want to complicate things
with an indecent starting formation.
