Re: [Callers] [Organizers] contra dance gypsy

Bob said: "Walk all around" [the left-hand lady] has been the MWSD terminology, and it seems adequate to me. Why create new terminology? The MWSD definition is: Dance action: Dancers face their corners. Walking forward and around each other while keeping right shoulders adjacent, dancers return to their original position, with their backs toward their corner. This is not quite a Gypsy, no eye-contact, and the final position is with your back to the person you walked around. Also, "Walk Around" can mean a number of different moves. See: http://contrafusion.co.uk/Gypsy.html#A1 I'm not saying you shouldn't use it. Just responding to your query :-)             Happy dancing,                    John John Sweeney, Dancer, England   john(a)modernjive.com 01233 625 362 & 07802 940 574 http://contrafusion.co.uk/KentCeilidhs.html for Live Music Ceilidhs http://www.contrafusion.co.uk for Dancing in Kent http://www.modernjive.com for Modern Jive DVDs
