Re: [Callers] Walk the Plank

Ron and All: Local tastes may vary, but if you're calling at a series where Petronella clapping is automatic, you can mention not clapping on the Petro/star transition (first seen in Becky Hill's Kitchen Stomp, I believe), but I wouldn't push that too hard. If one of the four claps, the other three have to wait for the clapper. It's different on Petro/allemande or Petro/swing transitions, where only two dancers need to agree on valuing flow over flourishes - Bob > From: contraron(a)gmail.com > Date: Wed, 14 Nov 2012 14:06:34 -0500 > To: callers(a)sharedweight.net > Subject: Re: [Callers] Walk the Plank > > I have a Petro-spin-to-star in a dance of mine, a move I stole from another > dance (Middle School Drama, or something like that?).
