(And even there, I understand, that decision was contentious.) Every instance I've seen in a contra dance of crosstrails through has dancers facing the next. (Pass right across, face along, pass left along the set, and on to the next.) My main concern with the dance is the timing. Four beats is fast, though at least you can steal some timing from the balances. -Chris Page San Diego _______________________________________________ Callers mailing list [email protected] http://lists.sharedweight.net/listinfo.cgi/callers-sharedweight.net
