Re: [Callers] Circle left 3/4

Erik Hoffman listed several ways besides "Circle left 3/4" to move the women, but not the me--or the men, but not the women-- across the set Some of those other ways (along with the four listed above) are mentioned in the archived message I referenced earlier: http://www.sharedweight.net/pipermail/callers/2012-March/ 004654.html And here are a few more that I didn't list: * From long wavy lines on the sides, dancers facing in walk straight across the set and face out while those facing out loop to the right and face in. As far as I know, this action derived from the "box circulate" [or perhaps more accurately from "split circulate"] of MWSD, was first used in a contra by Steve Schnur in "The 24th of June". * Down the hall four in line. End gent turn alone while the other three do a right-hand-high/left-lady-under turn. * Ladies or gents do a pair of 3/4 allemandes as in "Mary Cay's Reel" or "The Country of Marriage." (However those two particular dances also happen to include "Circle left 3/4".) --Jim On Jun 5, 2013, at 2:08 PM, Erik Hoffman wrote: > When considering moves think about what they do: > > A circle left 3/4 moves everyone to the right one spot.
