But let us know how it goes!
I think circle left all the way around (rather than 3/4) is not inherently
difficult for contra dancers.
Circle lefts that are hard:
- Circle left 1/2. It's so easy to just keep circling.
- Ending with gents ahead of ladies on the side. (e.g. N swing; *then*
circle left 1)
This is because almost all of our circles end with ladies ahead of gents
on the side (to set up for a swing, or a pass thru/CA twirl progression),
so we're very used to ending our circle lefts with ladies in 1st corner and
gents in 2nd corner places.
