introduces moves: circle, do si do, allemande, allemande orbit, swing, promenade
formation: scatter mixer
Scattered circles of two or more couples
| A1 | 8 | circle left 4 places
|
| 8 | neighbors do si do once
| |
| A2 | 8 | partners allemande right 1½
|
| 8 | ladles allemande left 1½ around while the gentlespoons orbit clockwise ½ around. Ladles star if more than two.
| |
| B1 | 16 | partners balance & swing New partner
|
| B2 | 16 | partners promenade to find new group to circle with ⁋
|
In this mixer dancers form scattered groups with any number of couples. That makes for fun chaos, less transition panic (compared with 2-couple scatter mixers), and more flavors to enjoy as circle sizes vary.
The A2 allemande ends with ladles in the center facing counterclockwise and gentlespoons on the outside facing clockwise. If there are two ladles they allemande left for 8 beats; if there are more than two they star left for 8 beats. Either way, the gentlespoons orbit clockwise around the ladles. Then all balance and swing a new partner and promenade to a new group.
I tell the dancers it's a zero-stress dance. "If a couple wants to join your circle, let them in!" And no problem if you happen to keep the same partner now and then.

begin in long waves---right hand to neighbor, gentlespoons face out, ladles face in.
| A1 | 8 | balance & box circulate - ladles cross while gentlespoons loop right
|
| 8 | balance & box circulate - gentlespoons cross while ladles loop right

| 8 | partners swing

| B1 | 8 | circle left 3 places
|
| 8 | neighbors swing
| |
| B2 | 8 | long lines forward & back
|
| 8 | square through two - partners balance & pull by right, then neighbors pull by left to ⁋
| |
| 0 | form long waves - ladles face in, gentlespoons face out
|
In the pull-by left, keep left hands and take right hands with a new neighbor to reform long waves.
For better entry, consider an allemande left 1/2 rather than a pull-by left, so that all hands are at the correct height for long waves.
Written for Joyce Fortune of the Bay Area, won at the auction of the 2010 Spring Fever dance camp at Monte Toyon, CA. She requested a dance with long lines, some balances, and a swing/circle/swing transition. (A surprisingly tough set of requirements to fulfill.) This sequence was the option she liked best.

Double progression.
In long lines, your partner is in one hand, your shadow is in the other hand.

|
| 8 | neighbors swing
| |
| A2 | 8 | right left through
|
| 8 | left diagonal ladles chain to shadow (only if there is someone there) ⁋

Note the similarity to Maliza's Magical Mystery Motion. The chain is to the diagonal left here, so at the end of B1 you must face a new set of four to find your partner.
