Apples & Ice Cream

Source: Composed by John Sweeney
Formation: Contra; Improper

Start with Neighbour Dosido 1 & 1/4 to an Ocean Wave (Ladies in the Middle)

A1	Balance R/L, Rory O'More Balance L/R, Rory O'More
A2	Swing Through: Neighbour Allemande Right, Men Allemande Left Partner Swing
B1	Circle Left Balance the Ring; Petronella
B2	Balance the Ring; California Twirl New Neighbour Dosido 1 & 1/4

Music:
Any suitable 32-bar jigs or reels. The Rory O'More Balances feel different and more lively with jigs, so starting with reels and switching up to jigs works well.

Notes:
I liked Sue Rosen's Apples & Chocolate but some of my dancers found the Half-Hey transition into New Neighbours confusing so I changed the middle of the B section to make it easier.
