[Callers] Simple Revolving door dances?

[via Callers]

I think right so the ladies don't have to change direction before the swing, but I could be misunderstanding what roger means.

>>> Ron Buchanan's "Revolving Door" figure is described well by Rick Mohr.  In "Revolving Door", couples start a "wrong side" half promenade where women pass right instead of men passing left. As the women meet they catch right hands and allemande right once around. The men drop out after crossing the set, and partners swing as the women come around. It flows easily and feels good. I often do a floor demo, both because it's unfamiliar and because it's pretty cool to watch. Since the promenade only lasts for a beat or two I think the easiest hold is for neighbors to join left hands, with the man's right arm briefly behind the woman's back.
