Oh, yes, a pet peeve of mine (along with men allemande left 3/4). Sometimes it
seems like every choreographer uses those too much. Here are some dances sans
circles.

Subject: [Callers] Circle left 3/4
I'm in the process of putting together a program for the Berkeley contra
this evening, and don't seem to be able to escape the words "circle left
3/4". I know there are dances where you don't do that, but in this
otherwise nicely balanced program every dance but 2 ("Cows are Watching"
by Bill Pope, and Carol Ormond's "Quilting Frolic" in which the cirle
3/4 is to the right) includes that move. Aargh.
Is this one of those invisible moves that's just part of the fabric of
the contra dance experience, or is this going to drive my dancers crazy?
Kalia (who is now combing through the cards for dances without circle L 3/4)
