There are several dances which begin with a RH bal, BTG, then M pull by (as in G.
Hubert's Sarah's Journey) or Allenande L 1 1/2 as in J. Hutson's Treasure of
Sierra Madre), and I have not noted an urge to orbit. All the spring just gets loaded
into the gents' inward motion. So I am sure a BTG would be fine, even without an
orbit.

I imagine this would be RH to your neighbor for the
balance. I wonder
if the dance would work well with a box the gnat there instead of a
3/4 alamain. One possible issue with that might be that the women
might expect to do an orbit. On the other hand, if they're really
skilled, maybe you could get them to do a full orbit while the men
alamain left.

Does this start in a wave? Or is it just with a
RH to your neighbor for a
balance, and then allemande R?

Hi all
Just wondering about a transition in Nathaniel Jack's "Walk the Plank."
It looks like a nice bouncy dance with good rebound, but there's a
transition from a petronella twirl into a LH star at the end, and in the
absence of a group of guinea pigs here at the house I thought I'd ask if
anyone's tried this and what they think. Here are the notes:
Walk the Plank Duple Imp.
A1 4,4 Neighbor balance, Al right 3/4
8 Men Al left 1-1/2
A2 16 Partner Bal + Swing, end facing down
B1 8 Down the hall in lines of 4, turn alone
8 Come back up, bend the line to a circle
B2 8 Balance the ring, spin right one place
8 Star left 1ce around.
Is it comfortable to come from that twirl into catching L hands for a
star?
Kalia
