[Callers] Mandatory Swings ??

Greg Frock in a Jun 9 thread, 'Dance Modules,' suggested " the 'mandatory swing requirements' these days, more and more choreographic sequences are just coming up with new ways to interestingly connect the swings" I disagree. A mandatory partner swing requirement seems to exist, but no neighbor swing requirement. Instead of a neighbor swing, either (a) substantial non-swing interaction with either or both neighbors (stars, allemandes, shoulder rounds, dosidos, chains or heys), or (b) distinctive choreography, can result in a great dances. (1) Last time I danced an evening to Darlene Underwood's calling, she called 4 excellent dances without a neighbor swing. (As a dance composer I notice such dances.) (2) The May Heydays festival held in England, just posted on this list (thread 'May the Serpent Be With you') the winners of its annual dance competition. The second place winner, Cherry Season, (3) The Callers' Box has 3525 duple minor dances without a neighbor swing including 9 by me. Clearer descriptions of some of mine may found at my web page
