Beach Adjacent

by: Moose Flores

Danced well. Give end effect note: While out, you may balance, but do NOT circulate

introduces moves: allemande, star, form long waves, box circulate

formation: Becket

A1 8
gentlespoons allemande left 1½
8
neighbors swing
A2 8
long lines forward & back
8
ladles chain
B1 8
star left 4 places
0
form long waves - ladles face in, gentlespoons face out
8
balance & box circulate - ladles cross while gentlespoons loop left
B2 8
balance & box circulate - gentlespoons cross while ladles loop right ⁋
8
partners swing

Note that the two box circulates are different. The first has gentlespoons looping to the /left/, while the second has ladles looping to the /right/. In both cases, the Gentlespoon follows their partner.
End effect: While waiting out, you may offer a hand for the wave balances, but do not circulate. To reenter, slide left and partner swing.

Mancala Contra 0.1 variation

by: Moose Flores

Did not call, but already I don't like it. Rewrite the middle to make the allemande orbit work better.
