Harking back to a prior thread - there's different dizziness quotients for different moves. I ran an experiment with dancers where we did 64 beats+ of Mad Robin CW - no reported dizziness.

In my experience, the tighter the radius, the higher the perceived dizziness. Think of it as RPB (rotations per beat).
Facing direction also impacts perception (can you look at a fixed (relative) point?).

So on a scale, a swing could be a 1.0, a Walkaround
/G*p*y Right say a 0.8, Allemande Right = 0.6?, Left shoulder center start Hey = 0.2?. Circles more dizzy than Stars?, etc.

Bottom line, in my experience, a simple CW beat count is a useful first level check but doesn't necessarily represent the dance's true perceived "dizzy dancer" impact.

Unfortunately, I count a whole lot of clockwise rotation.
In beats:
A1: 12 all, assuming people spin on the Petronella
A2: 4 for Gents
B1. 16
B2. 16, with ladies getting an extra rotation.

So, that's 44 beats of clockwise rotation (the "noticeably dizzy mark" for me is 40) and gents get 48 beats.

Sorry. :(
