3-33-33 lovers and callers - I have been calling this great dance recently and noticed that dancers of various experience levels in several venues have had trouble with the transition in the B2 from the Ladies Do-si-do 1 1/2 to the balance with the next neighbor that starts the dance. They have trouble finding that next neighbor, even after several times through, and with translating the momentum of crossing the set to that of up and down the line of the first part of the dance. I tried substituting an allemande right 1 1/2 for the do-si-do 1 1/2 of the original with little effect. What about a ladies allemande right about 1 1/2 to a next neighbor allemande left and then starting the dance again with a balance by the right with that neighbor? Other solutions? Have you or your dancers noticed the problem that I have seen. As always, thanks for your thoughts.
