A1 Bal and swing N (16)
A2 Gents alle left 1 1/2x

I'm posting a new dance of mine - the hook is a half hey into a long wavy line
of gents in the center. Haven't seen it before, and I'm wondering if anyone
knows of other dances with this figure. Also, I looked for other dances called

2. If not, I'm wondering about other callers' experiences with
Balancing F/B would be my approach in that scenario. Also a good opportunity to
reinforce giving weight, since that particular movement done repetitively could
irritate the shoulder joints if dancers are not keeping some tension in the
arms.

Great topic, Maia -
I'm reminded of what a college environmental science professor once said: "The
solution to pollution is dilution." In terms of your question, I find one
solution is to call more gigs; that way, there is less time to brood over

A1 Bal and swing N (16)
A2 Gents alle
