Re: [Callers] Named Moves

So you need to do a little bit of teaching. I like something like: Dosido your neighbor. (pause) Dosido your neighbor while looking at your partner. (pause) This is a mad robin. or, in a crowd that's more experienced: Don't do it yet, but the next move is a mad robin. Dosido your neighbor while looking at your partner. During the dance I would prompt it as "mad robin". (I don't regularly call any dances with the figure in it, though, partly because I want to stick to core figures unless I'm calling to a crowd that's quite experienced and is going to get a kick out of doing less common ones.)
