Bill,

Thanks for letting me know the square dancing terminology. When I  
wrote the dance I was trying to think of a move (or a variation on a  
move) that I didn't see used in contra dancing, at least not in dances  
I had done.

I think the swing in A2 is fine as the dancers are facing a new  
neighbor and have plenty of time for the swing. Someone, like Seth,  
who has called the dance a lot may have more feedback on that. If I  
remember correctly, I think when he first called it he had the dancers  
swing their current neighbor instead of their new neighbors. I'm not  
sure how that would work.
