First called by me at the Jamaica Plain Gender Free dance on 9/30/17.
This tested successfully using the terms Larks and Ravens for the JP Gender Free dance. Learnings from that experience: dancers liked the dance; should stress in the walkthrough that the hey is with your Trail Buddy couple; the A2 ring balance and draw opposite to swing seemed to end up with the swinging couples slightly offset laterally – next time I plan to try using a give & take instead to see if that minimizes the offset. Oh, and the name seemed to be a hit!
