Re: [Callers] Mad Orbin, a new dance
Thanks for mentioning the personal preference for Give & Take, Ron! The timing does seem to vary. But Larry Jennings, originator of the move, actually preferred two steps forward, two steps back with your Partner, and then a 12 count swing. Larry liked his dancing “Zesty”!

Re: [Callers] Mad Orbin, a new dance
This is a nice dance. I think I'll call it tonight. (For timing, I just mark down give and take to a swing as 16 beats, but timing for that move is a personal preference, I believe).

[Callers] Mad Orbin, a new dance
Hi, all! Thanks to all those who responded about this dance. Both Bob Isaacs and Chris Page don’t recognize the dance as already written so I think we’re good to go. Would love to hear how it goes if you decide to call it. The title is not a typo. The 2nd word is a play on words as a combination of robin+orbit. I changed the choreography slightly in B1. I teach the “give and take” as a ring balance, followed by the ladies drawing their Partner across the set. As such, I’ve changed the timing to (4) and (12) rather than how I had it originally as (8) and (8). That was just an oversight on my part when I originally posted the dance.
