[Callers] Mad Orbin, a new dance

[Linda Leslie via Callers]

Thanks for mentioning the personal preference for Give & Take, Ron! The timing does seem to vary. But Larry Jennings, originator of the move, actually preferred two steps forward, two steps back with your Partner, and then a 12 count swing. Larry liked his dancing “Zesty”!

Would love to hear how it goes if you decide to call it. The title is not a typo. The 2nd word is a play on words as a combination of robin+orbit.

As such, I’ve changed the timing to (4) and (12) rather than how I had it originally as (8) and (8). That was just an oversight on my part when I originally posted the dance.
