Balancing F/B would be my approach in that scenario. Also a good opportunity to reinforce giving weight, since that particular movement done repetitively could irritate the shoulder joints if dancers are not keeping some tension in the arms. </div>

<div>sorry - I missed that you said the alle L followed the balance - in that case - I think the first bal should be left. To bal R & then L and then turn by the left just sounds awkward.</div>

<div dir="ltr">Recently called a dance with an allemande R into long waves, balance wave, allemande L. Because of personal preference, I taught the balance as "balance left, then right", but cuz I didn't teach it all that clearly, the dancers defaulted back
into balancing right first, and enough tricky stuff was happening in the dance that I didn't wanna correct them in flight.
<div><br clear="none">
</div>
<div>I'm just wondering: do others agree that a balance left makes more sense / flows better in this context, or is this a weird personal preference? In your opinion, does the flow of the balance left outweigh its potential unidiomaticness?</div>
