Michael, I guess that question should be directed at the person who first crafted the variation and called it 33334, not me. I actually learned that version first. Then I learned the original. And in my notes and card the variation had that name, but was credited to SZA, as was the original. That was long ago, and I don't remember the caller who called it, or where, but that is how I learned it. I'd be interested in knowing who first came up with the variation and when it was introduced. And, I'd be especially interested in Steve's comparison of the dances.
Bree, I don't disagree with you - 33333 is certainly a classic. But the dance The Cherokee Shuffle, written by David Kaynor to the same named crooked tune, is also a classic, and the modern version that many of us have danced is often credited to Robert Cromartie, and that is the non-crooked version. If something works, it works. But even some of the old classics have modern contemporary versions. The folk process at work, again.
