A really really GREAT dance by Dan Pearl! Yeah, the "end effects" are mostly created by dancers doing something they weren't instructed to do! Pointing out that the dance is a double progression during the walk through (to those who are actually listening) is helpful I've found. It gives dancers a better idea where they will end up even if they DO get confused. Admittedly that's a little trickier if you start with a couple waiting out. But in that case, you can at least note that there will be a couple waiting out at the end each time the dance starts..

HNY everyone.
