[Callers] Contra- roll differences?

[John Sweeney via Callers]

Aahz said, "Bob Elling likes to point out that there is in fact a sashay
that basically is a reversed Mad Robin".

Hmmm... not sure what he meant by a "reversed Mad Robin".

He can't be talking about the original Mad Robin, as the move in that dance
involves casts.

And the modern contra version of the Mad Robin move doesn't have an implicit
direction for you to reverse!  Those Mad Robins can go clockwise around the
person beside you or counter-clockwise.

I guess he meant, "a sashay that basically is counter-clockwise Mad Robin" -
MWSD half sashays are always counter-clockwise.

Happy dancing,
John
