Instead of the Ladies Dosido 1.5 at the end to progress, just have the Ladies AL 1 1/2 in the center, with RH ready for the next neighbor. Some in the caller community have dubbed this version of the dance 3-33-34.

They know which face to look for. After that, they get a better feel for the area to aim for to find the new neighbor. A couple of seriously disoriented dancers can really play havoc with this dance though. It's brittle.
