[Callers] Star grips was Re: Star Promenade

In reference to "Sounds Like a Match" by Lynn Ackerson, it seems to me like the A1 would be a little smoother with a Southern style star than a New England style? Has anyone found this to be the case? Our local dance must have been started by Yankees as we typically use the wrist grip. I've been enjoying Bill Olson's "The Eggbeater" http://www.megalink.net/~pweeks/eggbeater.htm but I have to remember to specify the Southern grip for it when teaching the walkthrough. Are there any dances that you all enjoy dancing/calling that do better with one particular style of star? -Alison Murphy in Memphis TN -- mavis mcgaugh <yankeecalls(a)yahoo.com> wrote: I have used this dance several times: Sounds Like a Match Lynn Ackerson {bkt 1/4 left] A1 Balance Ring Ladies Trade by Left Hand ALL - Left hand star 1x ----- Progression A2) w/ Next Neighbor D-S-D & Swing B1 Men Left AL 1 1/2 W/ Parner Star Promenade B2 Ladies Right AL 1x Partner Swing
