Louise -- "Caller's Box" has separate entries for gate and hand cast, but hand cast says "Very similar to a gate" and the gate entry says "Very similar to hand cast." So you're not alone.
The caller's box gate description is ":Two people face the same direction, hold nearest hands, and pivot around the central point. One person backs up while the other person walks forwards." (I think of a hand cast as bringing one of the people around (usually 3/4) while the other is more of a post, and a gate as more mutual, with each side traversing the same distance, but I don't know if that's universal.) -- Alan ________________________________________ From: Louise Siddons via Contra Callers <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, April 14, 2023 1:02 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [Callers] Re: Dance with petronella right and left Re: Amy’s question about a gate: Is a gate the same as a hand cast to anyone except me?
