Hi Maia,
Not sure if you've already run this one (I'm behind on e-mails).
Personally, I would caution that getting dancers out of the habit of
Rorying to the right first might be hard.
I have in my box a similar dance, called Wildabeasts (that I wrote in
2017), that replaces your A2 with a
(8) Raven's Chain across
(4) Circle RIGHT 1/2, pass through
(4) Pass through to an Ocean Wave
That sets you up with your partner in your right hand, instead of your left
hand.
I will say, that while I wrote it and it's in my box, I've never actually
called it (along with about 150 other compositions).
As for dances I have actually called.
There's a variation of Donna Hunt's "This Could be the Start of Something"
http://donnahuntcaller.com/dancesByDonna.html
that starts with the Down the Hall, and has the ravens slide all the way to
their partner for a balance and swing instead of ravens allemande->partner
swing.
Erik Hoffman's "Missing Duck" has an A2 Rory, and a B2 P B&S, as does
Fidgety Feet/Fickle Finger of Fate by Mark Richardson/Don Lennartson.
None of those three have a neighbor swing though. For that, I'd turn to
Bill Olson's "Dancing With Amy"
Becket-CW
A1 ---
(8) Circle Left 3/4
(8) Neighbor swing
A2 ---
(8) left diagonal Ladies’ chain across to your shadow
(8) left hand star (to a long wavy line with your partner)
B1 ---
(8) Balance and slide to the right (as in Rory O’More)
(8) Balance and slide to the right (as in Rory O’More)
B2 ---
(16) Partner balance and swing
