Another Dance I Nicked
Mike Richardson (Seattle, WA), 8/13/2013
Duple Minor Longways Improper Contra

A1) Do si do neighbors (8)
      Men do si do -- once and a tiny bit more (8)
A2) Men pass right shoulders in center to start 3/4 hey for 4 across set (12)
      Gypsy partner left shoulder x 1/2 (on mens' original side) (4)
B1) Balance & swing partners (16)
B2) Long lines forward & back (8)
      Circle left x 3/4 (6)
      Pull by up & down set to progress to new neighbors (2)

Mike's Notes:
1.  Commissioned for Nick Cuccia by his wife, Andrea Hall-Cuccia.
2.  The name refers to the fact that I have written a previous dance for Nick,
called "In the Nick of Time"
3.  While the men are dosido-ing in B2, the women can make the transition into
the A2 easier by moving slightly up or down the set while bulging out at the
sides.

Nick's Notes:
1.  First danced at the 10/5/2013 San Francisco Queer Contra Dance.  Andy Shore
was the caller.  This was also Nick's actual 50th birthday.
2.  The combination of (A2) as written and Mike's note (3) above gives you a
W2-M1-M2-W1 wave (ones facing down, twos facing up) as the hey's starting
position.  If the dancers took hands, this would be a left-handed ocean wave.
