Complicity Swing

by: Moose Flores

  • star to Next N DSD

introduces moves: long lines, roll away, chain, star, do si do, balance, custom, swing, hey

formation: improper

Double progression.
Make sure the Gentlespoons are rolling to their left in A1.

A1 4
long lines forward & back
4
ladles roll away neighbors with a half sashay
8
ladles chain to partner
A2 8
star left 3 places ⁋
8
next neighbors do si do 1¼ to right hand Ocean Wave, gentlespoons in center
B1 4
balance the wave
4
swing through - neighbors allemand right 1/2, ladles allemand left 1/2
8
partners swing
B2 8
gentlespoons start a half hey - lefts in center, rights on ends - ladles ricochet
8
neighbors swing ⁋

End effect: If out during the B section, reenter as usual, with the LLFB. If out during A1 (from rollaway, waiting for the next neighbor DSD), wait half-sashayed. Although, if you reenter at the wave on the "wrong side", the dance will put you back with your partner for the swing and all will be well.

I Liked the LH Star to next neighbor DSD, and I moved the swings into the B sections.

Hey of a Different Color

by: Moose Flores

  • Smooth & simpl-- Larks chain

introduces moves: meltdown swing

formation: improper

A1 16
ladles start a full hey - lefts in center, rights on ends
A2 8
neighbors swing
8
gentlespoons start a half hey - lefts in center, rights on ends - ladles ricochet
B1 16
partners meltdown swing
B2 8
gentlespoons chain
8
long lines forward & back ⁋

Due to the short swing at the top of A2, the variation is probably better.

Shambolic

  • lost & found, cross trails to PS

introduces moves: allemande, right left through, petronella, cross trails

formation: Becket

A1 8
gentlespoons allemande left 1½
8
neighbors swing end facing left diagonal
A2 8
left diagonal ladles chain to shadow
8
right left through
B1 8
balance & petronella
8
balance & petronella
B2 4
cross trails - neighbors across the set right shoulders, shadows along the set left shoulders
12
partners swing ⁋

End effects: while waiting out, when a diagonal chain comes to you, do so.
You will spend part of your time waiting out with your shadow and some with your partner. You will still do every partner swing.
