If you are out, wait on the side, ready for the left diagonal.
If there is no one at all on your left diagonal, WAIT 8 beats & resume dancing.
(If you get completely wonky and you have no neighbors at A1, EJECT and rejoin the bottom of the line.)

introduces moves: box circulate, long lines, square through, form long waves
formation: improper
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
| |
| A2 | 8 | balance & box circulate - ladles cross while gentlespoons 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.
