<p>In the 1980s in the SF Bay Area at English dances (which was
where I saw Sicilian Circles regularly) "opposite" was the term
generally used. Nowadays if I call an evening of longways dances
and include one Sicilian, if I say "opposite" I get a lot of blank
looks, so I say 'neighbor' and the problem goes away. <br>
</p>
<p>"Opposite" seems like a self-descriptive term but if it's not
getting used elsewhere in the evening it's a speed bump. <br>

Does anyone have an opinion about the use of the term “neighbor”
and the term “opposite” in a Sicilian Circle?
<div class="">“Neighbor” is more correct from a contra
perspective, but “opposite" feels more correct to me from a
square dance perspective.</div>
