[Callers] Variations of 3-33 by Steve Zakon-Anderson

[Bree Kalb via Callers]

I agree with Mark! This is a fabulous dance as it is and the dosido for the
women is just hard enough to be a fun challenge. (When I was a new dancer,
dosido 1 1/2 was the hardest move for me to do gracefully and on time. I
was so happy when I got it right!) When the caller teaches the alternate
B2, I hide my disappointment, but its not as satisfying as the original.
