Depending on the event I will often have dancers keep the same partner during La Bastringue. I often use that as a first dance and call it from the floor while dancing. I find the original swing too long and will call it with a Do si Do and swing for ONS. Doing it that way I teach the dancers an additional move and prevent them from ending the swing early and they can actually stay with the phrasing of the music.

Um, what?! The La Bastringue I know (both IFD and contra) is a mixer (SF area in case it's a regional thing). -- Hugs and backrubs -- I break Rule 6 http://rule6.info/ <*> <*> <*> Help a hearing-impaired person: http://rule6.info/hearing.html _______________________________________________ Callers mailing list [email protected] http://www.sharedweight.net/mailman/listinfo/callers _______________________________________________ Callers mailing list [email protected] http://www.sharedweight.net/mailman/listinfo/callers
