I dance the ladies role enough where I feel I can confidently assert that
swing -> circle R is as difficult for gents as swing -> circle L is for
ladies. Either way, one person is unfolding from the swing opposite from
the rotation of the subsequent circle.
The bigger objection to flow is simply that it's a circle right that is
from a standstill, and people don't dance many circle rights. (But we dance
plenty circle lefts from a standstill.) In this case, I'm interested in the
circle R as something to fill a second-half-of-evening slot where I often
have need for dances that are fairly easy but not the same old circle
lefts, swings, stars, chains, and allemandes.
Best,
Ron

Hi Ron:
Two transitions in this dance I find troubling. The R and L through/gents
allemande is awkward for the gents, whose L hand is occupied in the
courtesy turn of the R and L through. This can be avoided by 1/2 hey (GL,
PR, LL, NR), gents allemande L 1 1/2 (or allemande/hey if you prefer that
order).
But swing/circle R?

*Subject:* [Callers] Another dance-check zig-zag R dance
So, this is a cross between Jeff Spero's Kiss the Bride and Rick Mohr's
Rockin' Robin:
Duple Imp.
A1. N DSD (6)
NS (10)
A2. R+L Thru (8) (across)
Gents Alle L 1.5x (8)
B1. P Meltdown Swing (16)*
B2. Circle R 1.25x (10)
Zig R, Zag L (6) (to next Ns)
I was futzing with Kiss the Bride and this came out. I'd like to give
credit if it's been written, or pick a name if not.
In dance,
Ron Blechner
