IMVHO, the disorienting moves for new folks are those that are disconnected.
Four in line is extremely connected and therefore not particularly
disorienting. Bigger issues are piece count, (see Zesty Contras by Larry
Jennings for a definition if required) transitions between moves, and the
quality of the calling and the music. I would be much more concerned about
what came before and after the down the hall than about that move itself.

Subject: [Callers] Down the Hall, Four in Line
I'd like some comments about using the move, Down the Hall, Four in
Line, in the first dance of the evening.
This is often done, but two people have told me that when there are
newcomers, it is a confusing move, as it takes you out of your circle
of
four, and away from the area in which you are dancing. It was felt
that
this is disorienting. The suggestion was that it might be better used
AFTER a dance where the circle of four stays together.
Do any of you have comments on that?
Thanks
Jo Mortland
