Re: [Callers] Yet another "Anyone seen this dance?"

[Winston, Alan P. via Callers]

The Barraclough and Goldman experiences with the dance already have 
belied my suspicion, but what I was thinking was that the extremely 
common use of "circle left 3/4 and swing on the side" was going to 
interfere with "Circle left all the way and swing on the side", and that 
we might see a failure mode of going three places and swinging partner 
there.


Reality has already proven me wrong.

I think circle left all the way around (rather than 3/4) is not 
inherently difficult for contra dancers.


Circle lefts that are hard:

- Circle left 1/2. It's so easy to just keep circling.

- Ending with gents ahead of ladies on the side. (e.g. N swing; *then* 
circle left 1)
  This is because almost all of our circles end with ladies ahead of 
gents on the side (to set up for a swing, or a pass thru/CA twirl 
progression), so we're very used to ending our circle lefts with 
ladies in 1st corner and gents in 2nd corner places.

It is really similar to Linda Leslie's mystery dance number 2

Re: [Callers] Yet another "Anyone seen this dance?"

[Ric Goldman - Letsdance via Callers]

I also called it as the opener with almost a whole line of beginners.  No 
problems and very positive response.

 

I’ve decided to name it “Sleeping in Redondo” because that’s what I was doing 
when I put it together.  :)

If you call it tonight, I suspect some dancers will have some trouble 
with the circle left all the way around the second and subsequent times 
through.


But let us know how it goes!
