They Stayed Here When They Disappeared

by: Heidi Wettlaufer

introduces moves: form an ocean wave, meltdown swing, hey

formation: improper

A1	8	neighbors do si do once
	4	form an ocean wave & balance - ladles by left hands and neighbors by right hands in short waves
	4	ladles allemande left ½
A2	16	partners meltdown swing
B1	8	circle left 3 places
	8	neighbors swing
B2	16	gentlespoons start a full hey - lefts in center, rights on ends ⁋

Heidi's original dance replaced the B1 with

LLFB
Ladles chain
Ladles full hey right

but I have both too many dances without Neighbor swings and too many dances with long lines - neither of those are necessary here, so I opted for the B1 above.
