I second Coconut Cream Pie - Greg beat me to it.

Greg, that last one is a fun idea—pretty similar to my dance My Partner's Partner (written for Harris Lapiroff at American Week 2023), which I'll probably be calling at my session!
Thanks for all of these ideas, folks!--Maia McCormick (she/her)917.279.8194

I did one like this with Chris Riccioti a few years back. For my faves, I will break these down into 3 categories:
[Note: "Line buddies" are defined as persons of the opposite role who is part of one's line of four]A1: Lines of 4 forward and back, opposite larks (up and down the set) allemande Left 1 1/2;
Only the larks will swap places with each progression. To make it a more standard 4x4 progression, have the robins allemande left 1 1/2 in B2.

What it says on the tin—I want more four-face-fours in my collection (not least because I’m calling a session of them at NEFFA 😅), drop your favorites here! Accepting recommendations of any difficulty level.
Thanks all!- Maia (Brooklyn, NY)_______________________________________________
