I agree with Andrea and Yoyo that this dance is very similar to Boys from Urbana, enough certainly to qualify as a variation of the same dance. Literally the only difference is that there's a 1/2 gents allemenade after the progression in Boys from Urbana. And this one starts at a different spot than Boys from Urbana usually starts, but there's no reason Boys has to start there.
I also agree with Yoyo about the timing. The reason Boys from Urbana works well is that there are 2 beats to veer each direction, then 4 beats for the gent to allemande left 1/2. In this dance, timing in B2 is unclear: 3/4 circle left is typically 6 beats, which leaves 10 for the veer left and veer right. Dancers won't split that into 5 beats and 5 beats, so it's uneven. Some dancers will compensate by taking extra time to circle left, and doing it in 8 beats instead of 6, but other dancers find such circles unsatisfying. -Dave Washington, DC On Fri, Oct 7, 2016 at 5:58 PM, Andrea Nettleton via Callers < callers@lists.sharedweight.net> wrote: > > > Sent from my external brain > > On Oct 6, 2016, at 2:44 PM, Rich Sbardella via Callers < > callers@lists.sharedweight.net> wrote: > > While we are at this, here is another untitled dance.
