Re: [Callers] Balancing LEFT in a wave?

sorry - I missed that you said the alle L followed the balance - in that case - I think the first bal should be left.  To bal R & then L and then turn by the left just sounds awkward.

Because of personal preference, I taught the balance as "balance left, then right", but cuz I didn't teach it all that clearly, the dancers defaulted back into balancing right first, and enough tricky stuff was happening in the dance that I didn't wanna correct them in flight. I'm just wondering: do others agree that a balance left makes more sense / flows better in this context, or is this a weird personal preference? In your opinion, does the flow of the balance left outweigh its potential unidiomaticness?
