Question about dances

March 20, 2006, 8:41 p.m. (Message 44778)

Dear All,

I probably ought to ask Linda Lieberman this question, but I'll toss 
it out here.  Forgive me if I'm just incapable of finding dances on my own.

I'm looking for dances that include the following figure (and I 
suspect it is a small number):

At *some* point in the dance, the first couple dances down, picking 
up second lady as they go by: 2L-1M-1L.  As they are dancing down, 
second man follows behind first man.  They all turn over their 
(right?) shoulders and dance up the line of the dance, the two ladies 
stepping forward to be on either side of second man, with first man 
now trailing.  I don't recall how the figure ends, as there might be 
several ways to finish.

If anyone might point me towards dances with this figure, I would be 
grateful.  Thank you.  (Suggestions on how to search for this stuff 
would also be appreciated)

Victor
