PAM'S MERRY GO ROUND

A duple improper, double progression contra by Bill Olson
 

A1 Circle balance (4) Roll swap w/ N (4) Circle bal (4) Act Calif twirl (4)

A2 With new neighbors down in 4's (8) turn alone and return, face across (8)

B1 Actives turn contra corners (16)

B2 Actives balance and swing, face down(16)
 

Notes: This is another attempt at a double progression contra corners dance. The actives California twirl in A1 is backwards (i.e. done with Man on R, woman on L). It could also be called "actives change places and face down" at which point a backwards twirl would ensue! Any well phrased tune would work nicely here. Pam Weeks' new jig The Merry go Round (C)  works nicely.
