Jim,
Regarding my story about Ted Sannella you wrote:
I find this story surprising. Are you sure you're
remembering
correctly and, if so, are you sure you're not omitting some
important context or qualification of Ted's remark?
That's how I remember it. I don't find it surprising at all. This entire
thread is riddled with complaints about dancers taking too long to complete
a full circle in 8 counts and the need for teaching dancers how to do
faster circles.
I think Ted was simply pointing all of this out. It's a good statement to
get the attention of callers...and of coriographers.
There are no absolutes here. Maybe a full circle takes 9.3 beats. I don't
know. It was just a way to make a point.
