Allen has taken an interesting backwards

we will see more Allen Ortep's in future dances.
He may wish to experiment with reverse swings for better flow.
It is interesting that this type of choreo goes over well in the southern
hemisphere see:

I've noticed a lot of reverse swings in the Australian dances I've
looked at. Probably something to do with the Coriolis effect. ;-)
