"A NIFTY 50" 
Dave Colestock - 04/02/2004    
Improper contra

A1  As Couples, Weave to the Right (Zig), passing by current
    N1 to a new N2, Lady Leads

    As Couples, Weave to the Left, passing by N2 to
    new N3, Gent Leads

    Circle Right Once Around with N3

A2  Balance in a Ring of 4
    CA Twirl (to face N2)
    Swing Neighbor N2
    (this becomes the new neighbor)

B1  Give RH to Partner Across the Set and 
    Balance with Partner
    Box the Gnat with Partner
    Just the 1's, Swing Partner, end facing down with
    same N2

B2  RH Star
    Circle Right back to improper position
    (N2 becomes known as N1 at top of dance - still
    current neighbor)

The dance has a nice flow to it, and has a 2 up, 1
back style of progressing.  If you follow the path the
couple makes on the dance floor, it looks like a 5
(with the weaves) followed by a circle right for the
0.  It's a rather nifty way to trace a fifty on the
dance floor.  Hence, "A Nifty Fifty".  I wrote it for
my good friend John P. for his 50th birthday in April
2004.
