[Callers] Novelty & Gimmick Contras

[Linda Leslie via Callers]

Hi, Bree!
That is a very novel way to get into a short wave Balance! and not al tall gimmicky, in my view. I watched the video…thanks for including the link. I have two questions for you:
It seems the dance is double progression, correct?
For the single do si do: the dancers stay back to back with their Neighbors to start, and actually do a 3/4 dosido into the wave, and must turn around  (neighbor now in right hand), right? This means that each dancer is facing their original direction of travel once in the wave. The link really helped with this move; when I read the dance, in my head I was picturing the dancers moving very differently.

Thanks for the dance!
warmly, Linda
