Jill's Scottish Fancy 
by Tony Saletan
TRIPLE minor; 1s improper, 2s and 3s proper

A1: 1s & 2s with neighbor balance and swing 
   (Man 1 with Woman 2, Woman 1 with Man 2). 
   3's are  encouraged to balance and swing partner. (16)

A2: Circle six left halfway (end opposite partner in lines of 3 facing 
    across) (8). 
    Each 1 is each now between two dancers of the opposite gender 
    role. 
   1s do-si-do partner but end facing out in wavy lines of 3 along the set (8).

B1: When the dance is under way, after the walkthrough (I recommend a demo 
of this part), here I simply use the calls "everybody balance" and 
"everybody move."

    All balance (4)
1's stay back to back and rotate as a couple clockwise to partner's position 
(possibilities here for back to back flirtation) WHILE their corners (2s and 
3s) individually move 1 inactive place counterclockwise to take the place of 
the inactive who just vacated that position. (1s are still facing out, the 
others facing in.) (4)

The caller should know, but not say, that in the new wavy lines of three, on 
the caller's left man 1 has left hands with man two, right hands with woman 
2. On the caller's right, woman 1 has right hands with man 3, left hands 
with woman 3. Experienced inactives may want to turn clockwise while moving 
counterclockwise but I don't say that, lest newcomers get disoriented while 
trying to imitate it.

Quick caller's eye check: people have left hands with same gender role.

All balance and move again (8). Caller knows that everyone is now progressed 
and proper in their "double triangles."

B2: All balance (4). Those who can (caller knows it's woman 1 with woman 2; 
man 1 with man 3) allemande left (4) until 1s can swing in the center and 
face down (8).

The usual single-progression improper triple minor rules about the ends of 
the set and the alternating roles of 2s and 3s apply.


TONY SEZ
Here's one I've used successfully, written for the birthday of my wife Jill 
Rosenthal, who's very fond of Scottish country dancing. The 1st B is 
inspired by (read "stolen from") the Scottish figure "double triangles." 
I've used it mostly with dancers of some experience; once it gets going it's 
much easier to dance than to talk or write or read about. The title implies 
a Scottish connection, but it's a good ol' US contra dance.
