Hi, I have always used the original version and don't ever recall the dancers having trouble with the DSD progression. While I respect and admire the folks creating variants they find helpful for their needs, for me, if it ain't broke, I'm not going to fix it.
Also, I must say that pleased me greatly to see Maia's reference to my home town of Ann Arbor!!! :) On Dec 16, 2016 4:27 PM, "Maia McCormick via Callers" < [email protected]> wrote: Fwiw, if I were to write a variation of 3-33-33 (and wanted to avoid ladies chain/star L), I'd do a figure like in Al Olson's 'Ann Arbor Four': long lines (8), P alle. R 3/4 (4), ladies alle. L 1/2 (4). Agreed that ladies' allemande L out of long lines, while there's no reason it doesn't flow, is bizarrely counterintuitive!
