If you teach it that way, make sure that it is actually the path of a Do Si Do and not a See Saw....

It's the same path as a dosido.  Have them do a dosido and notice their
path, then lock eyes across the set with their partner and follow the same
path sideways around the same neighbor they did the dosodo with.  Seems to
work.

Hi all,

I am looking for suggestions on how best to teach a "Mad Robin" to contra
dancers who have not encountered it before.  It is in "Joyride" after a
Gypsy and I have tried suggesting that they just let their feet take them
around on the same path as the Gypsy did while turning to face their
partner, and I have tried describing how the women start going up and inside
and the men down and outside - but there is still a bit too much confusion
out there.  I am planning on doing this in a venue where it may not be
feasible to do a demo.  Any additional ideas?

Rickey
