My opinion is "current Neighbor", from a dancer's standpoint, is equivalent to simply saying "Neighbor" (but with possible added confusion). Current is contextual in conventional experience, so many people would interpret it as the closest Neighbor.

I've started trying to find remembered/distinguishing features to describe the targeted individual in my call. For example, in my dance I posted above, I call "...look AWAY, NEXT Neighbors Star Left, find your ALLEMANDE Neighbor, Swing..." for the first few times through and then fall back to simpler language once they've got it.

Does anybody have any experience with using "original neighbor" vs "current neighbor" in these outside-minor-set-interaction dances? My thinking is to prefer "current neighbor" for dances with previous neighbor interaction, and "original neighbor" for dances with future neighbor interaction, but I don't have enough evidence for any strong decision in the matter.
