Please watch out
Hi Lynn,
I agree with your warning about being very careful about dances
with too
much continuous clockwise motion. However I find that more satisfying
flow
comes from alternating clockwise and anti-clockwise motion as long as the
center of rotation shifts. Your dance "Not a Figment of Your
Imagination" is a
good example. Gaye Fifer called it at our dance weekend, and it has
great flow
without being dizzy.
Other examples of this type of flow:
Heys;
The Nbr right allemand 1 1/2;(new) Nbr left allemand 1 1/2 B2/A1
transition in D&D;
A2 of Laura's Zigzag by Rick Mohr: Circle Left 1/2; w/Partner zig Left
(pass Ns) Zag Right (meet next couple), Circle Right 1/2 (with these
Ns) w/Partner, zag Right (to pass these Ns); Zig Left (to meet orig Ns)
Cheers, Bill
