Oops, sorry, I said allemande and meant right shoulder round. I mean, it could also be an
allemande right, that might be nicer for people who prefer physical contact to eye contact
— but it makes the transition into the swing clunky.
I think I explained to Jerome (via the list) that it’s the Robins with their next Robin,
so to speak — it’s the progression. Their partners simply scoot along the side a bit so
that the swings end across from one another in Becket formation (progressed).
Louise.

This dance looks interesting but I confess I don’t understand it fully. I think the
first gate is with your neighbor, the second with your partner, then robins chain across
to your neighbor (ending across from your partner). Who is the right shoulder around with
and how does that get the robins back to their partner and original side? (Also, in an
earlier answer you referred to an allemande, but I don’t see one.)
