<p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;">Rick and Mac and all, I also tried various "fixes" like promenading clockwise but like a lot of times I have tried to "fix" a dance, it gets clunky and I end up going back to the original. Since the "Wheel" is
the most fun with a hall packed with dancers, I have settled on calling it only for large crowds when the original "circle up" has the dancers pretty much pushed up against the walls. Then when they get in promenade position, that all loosens up but during
the circle lefts the women's arms are saved. </p>

<div dir="ltr">"The Wheel" has been a favorite of mine since 1994. Around here some call it "Wheel of Misfortune"

which I don't have. I never thought that was a problem, since "Dizzy Dances II" is subtitled "Featuring the best of Volume 1 plus...". But now I wonder how many other great dances that Gene didn't consider "the best"
