Re: [Callers] Circle left 3/4

Hmmmmmm. I am going to respectfully disagree. It might seem like a single progression, since you are doing 56 counts of the dance with just one couple. But, you are actually dancing with two distinct couples. You pass by the first couple in the R&L through on the left diagonal, this is the only movement danced with them. You then dance the remainder of the dance with a second couple. Another hint that this is double progression is the fact that you are not out at the top of the set (you indicate this in your notes, when you mention that the top couple should not move; if it were single progression, they would have to cross to other side of the set, and wait out one cycle of the dance). This is quite distinctive of double prog. dances. Becket Reel is another Double prog. dance that progresses in the same way that your dance does, except that the progression occurs at the B1. You can see the dance below. Hope this explanation helps! warmly, Linda Becket Reel By Herbie Gaudreau Becket formation, double clockwise progression A1 Allemande left your corner, swing partner A2 full ladies chain across B1 on the left diagonal: half right and left through straight across: half right and left through B2 (across) star left star right * note that you end with your left hand free ready for the initial allemande left On Jun 5, 2013, at 9:01 PM, Aahz Maruch wrote:
