Re: [Callers] As in Petronella

Good idea from Colin.    One might also say "slide about, men (or women) in front" Michael Fuerst      802 N Broadway      Urbana IL 61801      217 239 5844http://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/evolution-the-self/201406/8-situati… On Wednesday, December 16, 2015 1:57 AM, Colin Hume via Callers <callers(a)lists.sharedweight.net> wrote: On Wed, 16 Dec 2015 06:20:58 +0000 (UTC), Michael Fuerst via Callers wrote: I use the word "shuttle" (though in the walkthrough I say that some people call it "Mad Robin" or "Sliding Doors").  Three reasons: Shuttle is very descriptive whereas Mad Robin is just jargon. Very few dancers in England have danced the Playford dance "Mad Robin" (whereas "English" dancers in the States dance it regularly). It's nothing like the original move in "Mad Robin".  There it is done by one couple only, and there's none of this "locking eyes" stuff that many Americans love.  Cecil Sharp's description (starting with the ones below the twos and both couples proper) is: "First man moves up the middle and casts down to the same place; while his partner casts up and moves down the middle to her place." "Cast" starts with turning away from your partner, not doing a crab movement.
