Also, some of the dances below can be adapted by changing a right and left thru to a promenade across.

I find right and left thru or promenade can also often be followed by one of these, which flows better: - ladies chain (very common) - left hand star (example: True Grit by Chris Page: http://chrispagecontra.awardspace.us/dances/#true-grit) - circle right (see above) - hey, ladies pass right (example: Zoey and Me by Sue Rosen: http://dance.suerosencaller.com/dancedb/view/?title=Zoey+and+Me) - ladies allemande right (example: A-1 Reel by Chris Weiler: http://caller.chrisweiler.ws/dances.htm#a1reel) Yoyo Zhou
