I use chess pieces. It's not all that different to what you are doing with magnets except that I think it meets the objectives you state in your message.
Partners are same pieces of a different colour (e.g. a pawn's partner is a pawn, etc, and you only use one pair of pawns). You can use black to represent Larks etc (or the other way around obviously). Couples are arranged in some meaningful order to you, such as by the value of the chess piece or by height. Then after you move them all around for a while, you can still tell who's who. Actually I bought four different colours of chess pieces from https://www.chesshouse.com (five years ago, so things there might have changed). I've never used them to play chess. (I had in mind to make a youtube video about how some dance progressions work, which I may or may not manage to do some day. But I've used them to work out dances a lot.) regards, ajr, dancing in and near Toronto, Canada _______________________________________________ Contra Callers mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected]
