<html><head><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"></head><body style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; line-break: after-white-space;" class="">Good point - I was just trying to respond to someone else’s desire for flirty-ness. With family dances, I usually do a brief demo of the look-see, with someone familiar with the move “locking eyeballs” and it gets a lot of laughs, as you say, and is successful. "Right shoulder round" would off-putting for that crowd, I think. I find “right hand turn” to be clearer than “allemenade right” for example. Simpler seems to be better for new/one time dancers. <div class=""><u class=""><br class=""></u></div><div class=""><u class="">Maybe</u> we don’t all need to use the same terminology?? Especially for weddings, school dances, other places where they’re not as keen to learn something complex, but are more keen just to get moving together, build community, and have fun?? I imagine that if they have a good time, they might want to try it again some time, at which point they might want to learn correct terms? Just my musings...<br class=""><div><br class=""><blockquote type="cite" class=""><div class="">On Oct 10, 2019, at 9:01 AM, John Sweeney via Callers <<a href="mailto:callers@lists.sharedweight.net" class="">callers@lists.sharedweight.net</a>> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><div class=""><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" class=""><meta name="Generator" content="Microsoft Word 15 (filtered medium)" class=""><style class=""><!--
