You're right, it was your notation, I thought you'd written "girls roll left with half-sashay" instead of "gents roll ladies....". AFAIK, there's no standardized abbreviation for choreography, I think it probably makes more sense to avoid all but the most obvious abbreviations when posting dances to the list. If I can't figure out the dance abbreviations in a couple of seconds, I usually ignore the post; in this case, I thought it was obvious, but I was wrong. -- Hugs and backrubs -- I break Rule 6 http://rule6.info/ <*> <*> <*> Help a hearing-impaired person: http://rule6.info/hearing.html
