Re: [Callers] Circle left 3/4

Oh, yes, a pet peeve of mine (along with men allemande left 3/4). Sometimes it seems like every choreographer uses those too much. Here are some dances sans circles.

I know there are dances where you don't do that, but in this otherwise nicely balanced program every dance but 2 ("Cows are Watching" by Bill Pope, and Carol Ormond's "Quilting Frolic" in which the cirle 3/4 is to the right) includes that move. Aargh. Is this one of those invisible moves that's just part of the fabric of the contra dance experience, or is this going to drive my dancers crazy?
