I called Run Rooster Run II at a small dance in Knoxville, TN on Monday and really enjoyed it -- I actually got to dance too, dancing with a headset microphone, once I got it started. The one thing that made a particular difference was reminding the ladies to make the gents come to them, and not to try to meet them halfway -- that kept all of the hands 4 nicely lined up. Also, some of the ladies had a fair bit of fun "drawing the gent in" with a look. It's a cool progression, and really doesn't take much thinking about -- there are end effects, but if there isn't anyone there to go swing, you just stay and swing the one you've got. If you're in a part of the country where R&L Thrus are generally done with hands, a promenade might be easier, since getting the gent's hand out for the R&L thru can be a bit problematic unless the swing ends a bit early. Overall, though, a really fun dance, with an unusual but completely intuitive and unconfusing flow, even for newish dancers.
