I was walking Bill Olson's "The Hussy Bride" with my wife when she said it
would be better if, after the the "Long Lines Forward and Back" in the A1,
the ladies did an allemande left, not an allemande right as written. They
are on their way to a long wavy line with their partner in their left, women
facing out. If they do an allemande right as written they need to avoid
bumping into each other, since their paths tend to cross. The Allemande
Left does feel better.
Your thoughts.
The dance as written by Bill Olson is below:
