That works a lot of the time, but it really
doesn't work in dances like Ken is talking about. Dance like song in
the night (gene Hubert), or for other dances where you go out and then in and then out,
not necessarily with your
partner.
"Song in the night" was the second dance I called in my End-effects workshop,
and you're right that "Treat your partner as a
neighbour" doesn't work here. I do mention "dancing with ghosts" a few
lines later, and generalise the rule to "Keep doing as
much of the dance as you can", and I agree that here you need to do a star
three-quarters with ghosts.

"Happy as a Cold Pig in Warm Mud" would be
another where a star with ghosts would be on offer.
Here I think it's easier to do a left-hand turn with your shadow.
The really important thing is to get dancers _thinking_ about end-effects, rather than
just reaching the end of the set and
switching their brains off!
