It’s easy to call, emphasizes eye contact, flirty and fun like the original move. After quickly teaching it or doing a funny demo, everyone seems to grasp it easily. I’d love to hear others thoughts on the pros and cons of using this. I got the idea from a discussion on the Callers listserv several years ago. <br class=""><div><br class=""><blockquote type="cite" class=""><div class="">On Oct 9, 2019, at 11:31 AM, Martha Wild via Callers <<a href="mailto:callers@lists.sharedweight.net" class="">callers@lists.sharedweight.net</a>> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><div class=""><div class="">I hate "right shoulder round". It has the problem of using the term right in it. That makes it easy for people to confuse with a right allemande or a right shoulder do-si-do as you are calling it. Or right and left through. People often hear the first syllable you say to get direction, and that confuses them, especially if you have other moves starting with “right” in them in the dance. Also, the syllables don’t stand out - shoulder has little oomph, round similarly. There’s little way to shorten it as you call, which I like to do to cut down on interrupting the music. It’s a long string of words for one move. I do not use it. I use “spiral”, which a number of other people also use around here. I just really, really don’t like “right shoulder round”. I’m afraid “walk all around” has similar issues, at least for me - walk is used in other situations, you might have people walking individually around the small or large set, and be shortening that to “walk” - to me, walk could mean anything. Okay, it’s not always a perfect spiral, because you don’t always swing afterwards, but it has the virtue of people knowing what they are supposed to do immediately.<br class="">Martha<br class=""><br class=""><br class=""><blockquote type="cite" class="">On Oct 9, 2019, at 7:12 AM, Bob Hofkin via Callers <<a href="mailto:callers@lists.sharedweight.net" class="">callers@lists.sharedweight.net</a>> wrote:<br class=""><br class="">"Walk all around" [the left-hand lady] has been the MWSD terminology, and it seems adequate to me.
