Warning: The figures for each dance is generated programmatically by regular expression matching and may be in error. Also, for old dances, they reflect the figures used by the interpreter which may not match those of the deviser.

Swat The Flea

An online definition may be found here.

Bars: 2.

This figure involves a facing couple, they join left hands and raise them, then they trade places. The woman turning right 180° as she passes under the raised hands, the man turning left 180° as he walks around her. The left hands remain joined afterward.

History

I can find no antecedents of this call, and it is not one of CALLERLAB's standardized calls. However I learned it in the 1980s.
