Thanks for the input! That was originally right shoulder from when I had the Ravens go in, and I didn't think about switching it when I changed the role. I was thinking that keeping it right shoulder would flow nicely, because the direction of rotation is the same as the direction of the swing.

Emma, Thanks for sharing your new dance. I believe it’s always best to have larks, men or first corners gypsy, walk around or allemande by the left. One reason is that the dancers keep their positioning better especially if there’s a swing. Of course a large number of dances follow this rule
