Barbara,
The two things that are most confusing when changing genders are the chain
and the swing.
For the chain, you might review courtesy turn and also the twirl. Make sure
twirlers know their hand should be directly over the head of the twirlee,
and their hand should remain open (not gripping).
When I mentioned to one group that the twirler's hand should remain open, a
roar of women's voices said "Yes!" and I just added, "gentlemen, the
twirlees have spoken..."

Hey, y'all,
I'm going to be facilitating a "gender-swap" w.s. at Moondance in a few
days. I've never been to a workshop on this topic, and I thought I would
solicit ideas from the group. Has anybody been to (or perhaps led) a
gender-swap session? Any gems you can share with me on what worked well
or
what didn't?
Thanks!!
Barbara
