Called this last Tuesday, to a mixed crowd.  Good dance, the dancers liked
it (once I started calling it correctly :-( ).

Might not even want to mention the short wavy line when teaching the
pass-the-ocean, as it's not a balance point -- might want to emphasize the
roundness and swing-through-i-ness of the allemandes.  But that's a pet
peeve of mine, as I prefer a nice round weighty half-allemande rather than
a limp wish-you-weren't-here hand touch while brushing shoulders.

But now let me tell you how I really feel about that...
