This dance is something like Peter Stix's "#1 Grade A Top Quality Cats #2" with Rory O'More moves added. Hence the name.

[1] A left shoulder do-si-do.
[2] Face away from corner, give right hand to current partner to start the grand right and left.
[3] This is where lost couples can come in, hopefully in a completely different section of the room where they may have more experienced same-sexshadows in front of them..A forgiving way to teach grand right and left in circle mixer form. I expect someone else has already written this dance.

The trickiest part of this dance is convincing dancers not to take hands and balance after the first Rory OMore.
Written to honor caller, organizer, and choreographer Dave Colestock, who died in May 2017. Debuted at his home dance in Harrisburg PA on May 12, 2017.
