[Callers] Fw: Fw: Fw: another new word idea

[Mac Mckeever via Callers]

There are lots of examples where the same name is used for figures that are done differently - allemand for example
I always thought the staring at the other person was an option and often uncomfortable for new dancers

This is not in itself a reason for not using the phrase, but avoiding confusion with closely allied dance forms that share dancers is probably a good idea.  Jeremy  From: Callers [mailto:callers-bounces at lists.sharedweight.net] On Behalf Of Mac Mckeever via Callers

Subject: [Callers] Fw: another new word ideaIf I recall - square dances use the term 'dance around' to achieve the same thing

'dance around your partner', etc.

Walkabout would be a poor substitute:

http://www.abc.net.au/news/2016-01-07/lets-go-walkabout-changes-name-a-cultural-appropriation-claims/7071662

I suggest that anyone thinking of a substitute term do at least a quick
search for "<word> appropriation" (which is what I did to find the above
link) and "<word> slur".
