One solution might be to have one of the rollaways be part of a forward and back, perhaps the second one. I don't have the dance in front of me to know whether the rest of the dance would still time out, but putting more spin in might be a bit too much, and might paradoxically make people hurry through even more because they are anxious about being on time with all of that going on. That might be the problem as it is. Another option is to teach the timing along with the movement. How many beats/steps for R&L thru plus rollaway? Andrea Sent from my iPad
