It lasts FOREVER, which<br>is a little too long.

Thank<br>you for the suggestions for changing that bit.<br><br>Two callers danced it tonight. One (my husband, Tom) thought the flow<br>was good, but the swing was definitely too long. The other caller said<br>she really liked that the mad robin wasn't with your partner, which<br>she said tends to make a dance seem very partner-only-centric,<br>ignoring the neighbors. She agreed with me that I need to figure out a<br>better way to teach it. One of the band members noticed the long swing<br>and said it needs some other element to break it up.<br><br>This particular dance community has lots of beginners and folks who<br>just don't dance very well. It took them a while to get the circle<br>right-to star right transition. Tom thought that part was simple.
