A really really GREAT dance by Dan Pearl! Yeah, the "end effects" are mostly created by dancers doing something they weren't instructed to do! Pointing out that the dance is a double progression during the walk through (to those who are actually listening) is helpful I've found. It gives dancers a better idea where they will end up even if they DO get confused. Admittedly that's a little trickier if you start with a couple waiting out. But in that case, you can at least note that there will be a couple waiting out at the end each time the dance starts..
HNY everyone.

I have always thought part of the difficulty is that the ladies momentum is away from each other in that last pull by, leaving them a distance away from each other. On the end there can be some indecision about being in or out. In XYZ (which has a different set of challenges at the end with the "reverse") the momentum brings the ladies toward each other to start the next round, and makes it a little more obvious when you are out. Those dancing gent can help by giving SUBTLE weith in the correct direction after the last pull-by.
