I started to choreograph a dance like this a few years ago, then I found
that Seth Tepfer had already done so, and his worked better than what I had
written.... But perhaps I will revisit it....

In my high school Latin class 13 out of 16 students were left handed, and the teacher. I'm right-handed, and the only one teaching Latin today. Hmm. Nell

For eye dominance, you offer someone a piece of paper with a small hole in it and ask them to look through. Whichever eye they hold the paper up to is their dominant eye.
For ear dominance, you tell someone that there are people talking about them in the next room. You suggest they go over and put their ear against the wall to hear what is being said.
For foot dominance, you put an onject directly in front of them and ask them to kick it. Do this three times.
Fun stuff!

It's the name of a play from the '30s by Clifford Odets...
How does one find out which eye is dominant? This is has never come up in my lifetime.

Subject: [Callers] Waiting for Lefty
When this thread title came up I thought it was a new dance title, something like Waiting for Godot. Au contraire!
For the survey, I am:
~ right hand dominant
~ left eye dominant
~ probably right brain dominant
Fascinating factoid: For many years I entertained myself during long family trips and boring school days by practicing writing legibly with my left hand as well as with both hands simultaneously (LH frontwards l->r and RH backwards r->l) I just checked, and I am still reasonably good at both.

Hmmmmmm.... I wonder if the folks who pen dances are also Lefty dominant?
this would explain the preponderance of Circle Left in
modern dances ;-)
