Re: [Callers] Dances with three or more allemandes

Thanks you Joy and Les for the suggested dances.     Does anyone have additional suggestions? I think what I had in mind are dances where everyone allemandes 1 1/2 at least once plus allemande 3/4 or more at least one additional time   Michael Fuerst      802 N Broadway      Urbana IL 61801       217-239-5844 On Sunday, February 16, 2014 10:25 AM, Aahz Maruch &lt;aahz(a)pobox.com&gt; wrote: On Sun, Feb 16, 2014, Erik Hoffman wrote: Oddly enough, as has been pointed out here, you are a somewhat large-ish man -- that means your personal safety requirements are not necessarily what's appropriate for the general dancer population. So yeah, it's pretty much all about safety from my POV.  Any kind of spinning move out of allemande or wave risks yanking the thumb.  And actually, my concern is more about waves than allemandes: the grip is mostly the same for both and the spinning half-sashy is pretty much standard these days. I have no idea what you mean by "guideposts", though; from my POV either the thumbs are interlocked or they're not.  (If each person's thumb can touch the other person's webbing between thumb and forefinger they're interlocked.) -- Hugs and backrubs -- I break Rule 6                        http://rule6.info/                       <*>          <*>          <*> Help a hearing-impaired person: http://rule6.info/hearing.html _______________________________________________ Callers mailing list Callers(a)sharedweight.net http://www.sharedweight.net/mailman/listinfo/callers
