There are thousands of contras. If one doesn't work, why not try
another one instead of altering that one?

I've had pretty good luck with it, possibly because I have the women ID the next
neighbor early on. They know which face to look for. After that, they get a better feel
for the area to aim for to find the new neighbor. A couple of seriously disoriented
dancers can really play havoc with this dance though. It's brittle.

3-33-33 lovers and callers - I have been calling
this great dance recently
and noticed that dancers of various experience levels in several venues have
had trouble with the transition in the B2 from the Ladies Do-si-do 1 1/2 to
the balance with the next neighbor that starts the dance. They have trouble
finding that next neighbor, even after several times through, and with
translating the momentum of crossing the set to that of up and down the line
of the first part of the dance. I tried substituting an allemande right 1
1/2 for the do-si-do 1 1/2 of the original with little effect. What about a
ladies allemande right about 1 1/2 to a next neighbor allemande left and
then starting the dance again with a balance by the right with that
neighbor? Other solutions? Have you or your dancers noticed the problem
that I have seen. As always, thanks for your thoughts.
