Let's not forget the great Chinese New Year! box circulate
Chinese New Yearby Chris PageImproper (long wave) [1] A1 Balance long waves
Box circulate [2] Balance long waves Box circulate [3] A2 Balance long
waves Box circulate [2] Partner swingB1 Circle left 3/4 Neighbor swingB2
Long lines forward and back Square through (right-hand balance partner, pull
right by partner, left by neighbor) to long waves [4]
[1] Starts in long waves, right hand to neighbor, men face out, women face
in.[2] Circulate: Women cross the set to their partner's place, men loop right
to their neighbor's place.[3] Circulate: Men cross the set to their neighbor's
place, women loop right to their partner's place.[4] With the pull-by left,
keep left hands and take right hands with a new neighbor to reform long waves.
For better entry, consider an allemande left 1/2 rather than a pull-by left so
that everyones' hands are at the correct height for long waves.

Hi all,I'm in search of contras that have borrowed interesting figures from
traditional and modern western square dances. Do you have any favorites you're
willing to share? I've got Rang Tang Contra and some dances with Dixie Twirls.
Lots with Box the Gnat and Swat the Flea. Any others you love?Thank you!Rachel
