While we're at it, I've got one as well: Too Many Joshes <http://contra.maiamccormick.com/dances.html#toomanyjoshes> (improper) *Starts with a wavy line of gents in the center* *A1:* gents bal. L then R, allemande L 3/4 neighbor swing *A2:* ladies allemande R 1 1/2 partner swing *B1:* gents chain by L (to N) circle L 3/4 *B2:* gents chain by R (to N) gents allemande R 1 1/4 to a long wave (taking L with a new gent) *Notes: Written late Feb. 2016 for Michal Richardson (in reference to the state of our local dance), and workshopped at NEFFA ‘16. The parameters I was given was that the dance have a lot of action for the gents, and be as confusing and counter-intuitive as possible–I hope I’ve managed this while achieving flow at the same time. The chain in B1 looks like a typical gents’ chain (gents begin and end on the left), while in B2, the gents do a typical “ladies’ chain”, beginning and ending on the RIGHT.*
