The square break is a tweaking of something I've picked up, I think when Lisa Greenleaf called:
A1 Forward and back, roll away corner Forward and back, roll away next corner A2 Forward and back, roll away next corner Forward and back, roll away partner B1 Partner promenade to home Partner do-si-do B2 Partner balance and swing
"And Another Thing" was my first attempt to make the twin dance of "A Sure Thing":
And Another ThingA1 Men allemande left 1 & 1/2 1/2 hey (NR,WL,PR,ML) A2 Neighbor gypsy and swing B1 Right diagonal ladies chain to shadow Circle right 1 B2 Neighbor N2 1/2 clockwise pousette around partner Partner swing
It worked, but since it ran outside the minor set it was shaky, especially finding the correct people to circle right with in time to go all the way around. This is a nice dance, but I made a simpler version called "Trust" with the same key transition.
