Re: [Callers] Box circulate dances

I would always include in the notation the fact that the balances for a Box Circulate are MUCH more satisfying if they are Forward & Back - that sets you up with the right momentum to cross the set. I really wish callers would specify the direction of every balance; for instance if the next move is Allemande Left, then balancing Left/Right is much better than Right/Left (which leaves you too close to the person you are Allemanding). Spinning as you cross the set in a Box Circulate is also fun, and much easier to do if you have balanced Forward & Back. :-) Happy dancing, John John Sweeney, Dancer, England john(a)modernjive.com 01233 625 362 http://www.contrafusion.co.uk for Dancing in Kent
