[Callers] Need help teleporting to other side of set - new dance

[K Panton]

I like that, Tom.

With just a little tug from the gent to redirect the lady's momentum into
the allemande (and he can keep moving, anticipating his subsequent
allemande). The 3 x 1/2 alle becomes a neat twist.

I case anyone cares, I mind-danced Tom's idea to this tune. Very cool
result.

Thanks,
