Sorry, Dave and Chris, but I have to disagree with you
on the
ladies allemande L 1 1/2. Sure, it leaves the R hand free for the
new N, but going from the long lines to that allemande is awkward
for the ladies.
Just curious Bob why you say it's awkward for the ladies to go from
the forward and back into an allemande left. Is it because the women
use their right hands more often than they use their left?
Lately I've been trying to think about what regular dancers do all of
the time, what they do some of the time and what they rarely do. I
attempt to give them a great deal of material I think they are
comfortable with, a sprinkling of what they do some of the time and
then always include at-least one new puzzle or obstacle.
We've been talking about is a very small piece of choreography in
only one contra. Looking at 3-33-33 in the context of an entire
evening might be useful too.
