I don't recall seeing the dip-and-dive-across-the-set figure before 
(choreographically equivalent to right and through), came up with this, 
called it tonight and people seemed to have fun.  I don't think it 
registers as too  gimmicky for hot contra dancers because they get the 
twirls to face back in, and it goes well pretty early in the evening
DIPPING DOTS
Improper contra
Bouncy, jolly (Quebecois, polka?), or smooth and driving.
