I understand 7.5' is a narrow hall, but do you think there is room to do 
contra corners? I have a dance I've not yet called that has actives swing in 
the center. You are welcome to try it out. (If you do, let me know how it 
went.) The corners could take a small step in from the wall to turn the 
active dancers & then step back while they swing in the middle. Likewise for 
the figure-8, the inactive dancers can move in a bit to let the actives pass 
around on the outside.

Melted in the Middle - Mark Goodwin (7/4/2008) Proper



A1       Lines F&B (8) Then, (Active above, Inactive below) holding only 
inside hands: (i.e. SS N side-by-side & facing across from P)

Balance toward your same-sex N (4), Actives roll the same-sex Inactive N UP 
along the side (4) (Actives half sashay down, to trade places with them)



A2       Actives turn Contra Corners (16) (CC w/ghosts at bottom)



B1        Actives only gypsy &S or B&S, end the swing facing up (16) (to 
current N)



B2        Actives half figure-8 up to improper sides below these N's then, 
with next below, half fig-8 down to proper sides, above new SS N's (lady 
leads)



Note: At bottom end, there is no couple below, so Actives just cross back to 
proper sides to become neutral below their old neighbors. Be ready to act as 
corners for contra corners, looking first on your R-diagonal & offering L 
hand. (Idle Hands Alternative A1, B2)
