[Callers] Beneficial Tradition

[Kalia Kliban]

Hi all,

I recently called Beneficial Tradition for the first time and noticed a 
consistent hitch in the dance at the top of the set.  It was probably 
happening at the bottom too.

I was doing the variant with no wave balance in the A1, just Women 
allemande L 1x and P swing.  Though the transition from the pull-bys in 
the B2 to that L allemande worked well inside the line, it was always 
funky at the ends.  I'm speculating that that's because folks coming out 
of the pull-by pattern into empty space at the end were tending to head 
in a consistent incorrect direction.

Those of you who have called this dance a lot, have you noticed the same 
issue?  How do you teach the B2-A1 transition to minimize the confusion 
and end effects?

ps Happy New Year, everyone!
