> What I'm talking about here is that there's choreography that seems
fairly inevitable - if you're going to circle left into a half-poussette isn't the
probable direction of the half-poussette pretty obvious, or if you did a clockwise half
poussette into a mad robin why should you even have to use a role name to say who goes
through the middle first? Getting it wrong requires fighting your momentum - and some
people will do that. [Although if they're generally tentative, or late, or executing
one call and stopping and then executing the next call, then they don't have
appropriate momentum anyway.]

I know exactly what you’re
talking about.
I’m wondering if beginners do circle left followed by circle right earlier in the evening,
would they expect that kind of reverse flow to be the norm latter on?
I think that Becky’s comments are really valuable. I’ll make an effort to include those
tips for the benefit of the less experienced dancers and not make the assumption that the
flow is so obvious that I don’t need to mention it.
