There are several dances which begin with a RH bal, BTG, then M pull by (as in G. Hubert's Sarah's Journey) or Allenande L 1 1/2 as in J. Hutson's Treasure of Sierra Madre), and I have not noted an urge to orbit. All the spring just gets loaded into the gents' inward motion. So I am sure a BTG would be fine, even without an orbit. -Andrea
