I have seen this taught as a do si do.on the side with your neighbor...then
turn shoulder to shoulder (facing partner across the set) and then do the
same move but sideways...worked for the group I was dancing in. I have a
mad robin in a dance I wrote and will teach it this way until I find, see or
dance to a better one.

Hi all,
I am looking for suggestions on how best to teach a "Mad Robin" to contra
dancers who have not encountered it before. It is in "Joyride" after a
Gypsy and I have tried suggesting that they just let their feet take them
around on the same path as the Gypsy did while turning to face their
partner, and I have tried describing how the women start going up and
inside
and the men down and outside - but there is still a bit too much confusion
out there. I am planning on doing this in a venue where it may not be
feasible to do a demo. Any additional ideas?
