Can you define "down the hall" and explain
why you see it as a problem?
Do you mean "down the hall four in line", "Twos down the outside?"
Any
"down the hall" figure at all?
Just wondering.
I can't speak for Tavi, but "It's easy to find simple dances with a
down-the-hall figure..." suggests that finding more dances that go
down the hall is not the pressing question, not that down the hall is
a problem per se.
Down the hall in a line of 4 is by far the most common these days,
and it's distinctive enough that I'd be surprised to see it more than
twice in an evening. (Consider how often dancers automatically end a
swing facing across without the caller telling them to.) So one's
program needs to include a lot more dances that don't contain a
down-the-hall figure.
