I can send one of them!
The Dancing Frog
Jeffrey Spero February 25, 2001
Duple improper
A1 Neighbor balance and swing
A2 Ladies allemande right once-and-a-half
Partners swing
B1 Long lines forward and back, partners roll away with a half sashay
Gents chain across
B2 Partners right hand balance, box the gnat
Same four, right hand star
Author's notes: The gents chain in B1 is a true role reversal, with the men
pulling by with their right hands - my favorite kind of gents chain!
This dance was composed for a dance medley during the 2001 Fiddling Frog Dance
Festival in Los Angeles.
