Hmm. "Devil's Dervish" (Linda's variation of Al Olson's "Devil's Duty") does not fit the 'someone from California' criterion.
And "Major Hey" does not fit the 'improper formation' criterion. (For anyone who loves "Major Hey, but does not love 40-bar dances, Carol Ormand has a 32-bar variation!) However, i did a bit of sleuthing... there's a Chris Page variant of the same Al Olson dance, called "The Dancer's Duty" - which fits both criteria! It's on his page http://chrispagecontra.awardspace.us/dances/index.htm Hoping that is what you sought, Tavi > Hanny, could.
