Beth, I enjoyed picturing all those squares you shared -- sure sounds like a fun program. I do have a question about Kitchen Lancers. Since you indicated well-phrased New Englandy tunes, does that break evenly into an AABB structure? If so, can you indicate those phrases? I also presume that after the sides jump in, the formation resembles a longways proper set as for Virginia Reel. Is the sliding across the hall (couples), or up and down the hall (lines)?
