Wandering Waltz

Longways duple        32 bar waltzes

A1:	First corners give right hands: balance forward and back; change 
places turning lady under.  Second corners same.

A2:	All that again with left hands.

B1:	Twos cast up ( 4 steps) while ones do two chassées down and 
two-hand turn half-way.  Ones cast up, twos chassée and turn half-way.

B2:	Circle left half-way (4 steps - keep circle wide).  Keep hold, two 
waltz steps in; turn single to progressed place.

I learnt this from Roger Whynot, who said it was by Barry Moule.  
Barry says it isn't.  Roger used right hand in A2 and said _don't_ 
turn the lady under, but I prefer it this way.

Duke of Kent's Waltz is a well-known English Dance (probably in "The 
Playford Ball" by Keller and Shimer) which contra dancers would have 
no trouble with - except it doesn't have a swing!

Heidenroslein (imagine two dots over the "o") is a beautiful square by 
Pat Shaw with a beautiful German tune.

Little Man in a Fix - traditional Danish.

The Birthday Waltz (Sicilian Circle) in my "Dances with a Difference, 
Volume 4" - tune in the new Barnes book, I believe.

Many others, but they're copyright.
