[Callers] Novelty & Gimmick Contras

[Linda Leslie via Callers]

Very Correct, Bree, about not turning around! The 3/4 starts back to back, but ends in the usual way in the wave; this made me incorrectly think there was a turnaround. Thanks for catching that mistake of mine! And describing that ones always face down, and twos always face up also helps a lot.

> 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.
