Mac is correct, the caller in that video is John Coffman.
I call this often. One thing is to encourage an actual courtesy turn out of
the right and left through which then lends itself to doing a full
extension for the first roll away, and that in turn promotes the similar
extension and a nice tug for the ladies into the allemande. It really is a
satisfying sequence.

I can't be sure because it is not documented - but
I think one reason the
caller had the timing down is the caller is also the author - John Coffman.

John's dance is on YouTube, and can be seen at this link:

The caller does a great job with the timing!

Hi all,
I need help with 2 dances:
(1) Where is the progression in Steve Zakon-Anderson's 3-33-33
(2) Alternating Current is a great dance by John Coffman. The A2
has a
Right and left Through into a men roll his neighbor lady away along
the line
and then she rolls him into (B2) Ladies Allemande Right (once and a
half). A
great sereis of moves that zip. But dancers are consistently getting
through the 2 roll aways early. I thought of putting a 'power turn'
in at
the end of the Right and Left Through (i.e. an extra turn as a
couple coming
out of the Right and left Through), but have not tried that yet.
Anyone
else have experience with this dance or have other suggestions?

Fremont, NH
