My wife once complained to a caller about some awkward transition. The
response was, "You just haven't figured out the right flourish to make
it flow." An example of this is any improper dance that ends with
courtesy turn, followed by some interaction with your next neighbor to
start the next time through. That transition is fine for the robin, who
doesn't go all the way around to face in, but rather stops short, facing
the next neighbor. The lark, on the other hand, winds up facing the
wrong direction. However, if the robin twirls under their joined left
arms, spinning once or twice or more, the lark smoothly ends up facing
the right direction to meet a new neighbor.

I am accumulating a list of figures, or figure

significant dance writers (not necessarily a majority) consider
Choreographic No-Nos
My list so far:
1. do-si-do across
2. right chain after a swing
3 short swings on an odd phrase
4. Shadow swings
Does anyone have further suggestions?
