Jeff Kaufman asked where dancers dance the cast off with the twos
acting as the pivot point. One place for sure is the Washington DC
area (that's my original dance community). But I'm talking more
about the past when we did the older dances.
Some dancers responded to me directly. Two dancers from the same
dance community reported completely different answers. One caller
made the point that it's very rare for a caller to go over the fine
points of a cast off. I think this is a good point since there are
so many other things to teach, like safety (safe allemandes), timing,
how to do the more common moves well etc. The finer points of a cast
of are relatively speaking not that important.
Thanks to all of you for helping me out on this.
