In the walk through I usually say the person who is NOT your partner is
your NEIGHBOR...do (whatever) with them...this sets the term and the
orientation in their mind

I don't think correctness needs to be considered.
As long as the dancers
understand that they're going to do something with the person next to them
who isn't their partner, I'm happy, and either term conveys that.
Nowadays I think that I'm more likely to hear the word neighbor come out
of my mouth.

Does anyone have an opinion about the use of the
term “neighbor” and the
term “opposite” in a Sicilian Circle?
“Neighbor” is more correct from a contra perspective, but “opposite"
feels more correct to me from a square dance perspective.
thanks,
