<p>I respectfully disagree. As long as we swing in a clockwise direction, the swing/circle R transition will flow poorly for both roles, and should have no place in any contra dance -

<div dir="auto"><span style="font-family: sans-serif;">I dance the ladies role enough where I feel I can confidently assert</span> that swing -> circle R is as difficult for gents as swing -> circle L is for ladies. Either way, one person is unfolding from
the swing opposite from the rotation of the subsequent circle.

<div dir="auto">The bigger objection to flow is simply that it's a circle right that is from a standstill, and people don't dance many circle rights. (But we dance plenty circle lefts from a standstill.) In this case, I'm interested in the circle R as something
to fill a second-half-of-evening slot where I often have need for dances that are fairly easy but not the same old circle lefts, swings, stars, chains, and allemandes.</div>

<p>Hi Ron:</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Two transitions in this dance I find troubling. The R and L through/gents allemande is awkward for the gents, whose L hand is occupied in the courtesy turn of the R and L through. This can be avoided by 1/2 hey (GL, PR, LL, NR), gents allemande L 1 1/2
(or allemande/hey if you prefer that order).</p>

<p>But swing/circle R?</p>
