Re: [Callers] Overused figures

Many times a dance can be slightly modified with a different move that gets the same result.  An example of this is that a Give and Take can easily replace a Circle Left 3/4 when the next move is a swing.  B&Sw N, CL 3/4, Sw P can thus be B&Sw N, G&T where gents bring back the lady, Sw P.   Dave Colestock Harrisburg, PA       --- On Mon, 2/27/12, Bill Baritompa <staf186(a)ext.canterbury.ac.nz> wrote: From: Bill Baritompa <staf186(a)ext.canterbury.ac.nz> Subject: Re: [Callers] Overused figures To: "Caller's discussion list" <callers(a)sharedweight.net> Date: Monday, February 27, 2012, 3:28 PM Hi All,    Interesting discussion.   One of the neat aspects of contra dance (for me) is that so few figures are used to make up dances (as opposed to MWSD). The transitions between them and how they are put together generate interesting and fun dances. There are certain combination that appear frequently. One that I try to limit using is a (P or N) swing followed by CL 3/4 (N or P) swing which can make for a dizzy dance.
