One solution might be to have one of the rollaways be part of a forward and back, perhaps
the second one. I don't have the dance in front of me to know whether the rest of the
dance would still time out, but putting more spin in might be a bit too much, and might
paradoxically make people hurry through even more because they are anxious about being on
time with all of that going on. That might be the problem as it is. Another option is to
teach the timing along with the movement. How many beats/steps for R&L thru plus
rollaway?

Hi all,
I need help with 2 dances:
(1) Where is the progression in Steve Zakon-Anderson's 3-33-33
(2) Alternating Current is a great dance by John Coffman. The A2 has a
Right and left Through into a men roll his neighbor lady away along the line
and then she rolls him into (B2) Ladies Allemande Right (once and a half). A
great sereis of moves that zip. But dancers are consistently getting
through the 2 roll aways early. I thought of putting a 'power turn' in at
the end of the Right and Left Through (i.e. an extra turn as a couple coming
out of the Right and left Through), but have not tried that yet. Anyone
else have experience with this dance or have other suggestions?
