Luke,
Mostly a nice dance. I like the symmetry, the mix of bouncy and
smooth...The only place I see a bit of awkwardness is for the women
transitioning from the R hand Star into an DSD. Not insuperable, but
the W have to turn around/switch direction to do the DSD. A solid
dancer could do it easily enough I'm sure, but it is less good for a
newer dancer, who may still have orientation problems, or for someone
who is less physically able to do a quick change of direction. Even
with the assistance of her neighbor behind her, she has to check her
momentum and direction at once. I'm sorry I don't have a brilliant
solution to this.

Hi Luke:
This is new by me, and if so, it looks very nice. Is the star R wrist-grip, so neighbors
can tug into the dosido?

Hello all,
