I use the term "Sashay round" which, by definition, is easier for most
people to understand -
I like that....it does define the move much better than Mad Robin! I've
also seen the term "sliding doors" used to describe that figure.
Sashay: move sideways, and Around (do I have to explain that one?)
Well, you would think one wouldn't need to explain "around," but I've called
dances where the direction "walk straight ahead in the direction you are
facing" will cause certain people (the dyslexics?) to turn around and walk
the other way.

Subject: [Callers] Teaching Mad Robin
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
