True. I really only meant that a BTG does not necessarily call for both parties to pull
into the next move, but all the energy can be given to just one dancer to move to the
center.

Minor point: There are no balances in Sarah's
Journey. Neither box the gnat starts with a balance. It's a smooth dance rather than
bouncy.

There are several dances which begin with a RH
bal, BTG, then M pull by (as in G. Hubert's Sarah's Journey) or Allenande L 1 1/2
as in J. Hutson's Treasure of Sierra Madre), and I have not noted an urge to orbit.
All the spring just gets loaded into the gents' inward motion. So I am sure a BTG
would be fine, even without an orbit.

http://www.sharedweight.net/mailman/listinfo/callers I imagine this would be RH to your neighbor for
the balance. I wonder
if the dance would work well with a box the gnat there instead of a
3/4 alamain. One possible issue with that might be that the women
might expect to do an orbit. On the other hand, if they're really
skilled, maybe you could get them to do a full orbit while the men
alamain left.

http://www.sharedweight.net/mailman/listinfo/callers Does this start in a wave? Or is it just with a
RH to your neighbor for a
balance, and then allemande R?
