What to call after a dance with a lot of clockwise movement:
I understand there are some Australian contras where they choreographed a counter-clockwise swing. Of course you would have to be careful with that as most people have never practised CCW swings. The CCW swing then provides momentum into moves you wouldn’t usually do after a swing. If a heavily CW-orientated dance has a Partner Swing then my wife and I often do it as a CCW swing anyway. You could do a no-swing dance! I was taught by a professional dancer that one way to overcome dizziness from too much CW rotation is to jump up and down to get the “jelly” in your ears to settle. So why not try a dance with lots of bouncing: gallops, heel-and-toes, etc. Happy dancing, John John Sweeney, Dancer, England [email protected] 01233 625 362 http://www.contrafusion.co.uk for Dancing in Kent
