Oooh, ooh, A chance to get on one of my soapboxes. A lot of dances are smooth or awkward depending on whether you're doing the correct star. The basket/wrist-grip star moves very nicely into an allemande (with neighbor or partner), but the hands-across star is a tad clumsy. The opposite is true (and even worse) for things like star into a ladies chain or same-gender allemande. I always note on my card if the type of star is important, and give instruction if that particular star-style is not the local norm.
