If the ladies DSD 1 1/2 they are with their neighbor not partner<br>
if the gents Lasso the Lady (by definition) they should be going CCW (ladies pass in front)<br>
<br>
Or am I reading this incorrectly?<br>

Here's a few with a difference;<br>
<br>
Cumberland Contra is here:<br>

<br>
Note: You can change the Two Hand Turn in B1 into a Swing; you can teach B2<br>
as a Whole Set Petronella<br>
<br>
Still working on this one:<br>
<br>
DosiWhat? (by John Sweeney)<br>
Contra; Becket (CW)<br>
<br>
A1: Men Dosido; Ladies Dosido 1 & 1/2 - Men turn to the Left and take<br>
Man's' Right Hand to Partner's Left Hand to face a New Couple <br>
A2: Mountain Dosido ("DoSi the Ladies"): Lasso Partner CW around self<br>
and along to the other Man; Neighbour Swing<br>
B1: Open Ladies' Chain: Ladies Pull by Right; Partner Allemande Left 1<br>
& 1/4 - continue into an Alabama Rang Tang: Men pass B-to-B; Neighbour<br>
Allemande Right; Men pass B-to-B, weave into a <br>
B2: Partner Gypsy Meltdown<br>
<br>
Notes: Teach the Ladies' Dosido as "Dosido and Pass Thru", otherwise they<br>
will spin and face where they think they are going.<br>
<br>
The Alabama Rang Tang and the Mountain Dosido were both<br>
originally known in their communities as just "Dosido". The names were<br>
changed to avoid confusion as mass communication brought dance communities<br>
together. So the dance is basically a series of Dosidos!<br>
<br>
"DoSi" is pronounced dose-eye. I usually say "Lasso the Lady"<br>
though, to avoid confusion and remind them of what the move is. The man<br>
raises his right hand and the lady walks forwards around him while he stands<br>
still. Then "You Swing Mine and I'll Swing Yours".<br>
<br>
Please let me know if you try it.<br>
<br>
Happy dancing,<br>
John<br>
