I was in a dance that had a lot of shadow alemands/do-c-do/gypsy etc. and it built a lot of fun into the dance. What was most memorable at the end of the dance was that the caller broke it off at the end and instead of a final caling of swing your partner one last time, he had us SWING our shadow! Very unexpected as a dancer but a fitting ending to a dance in which shadows played such a significant role.
