Re: [Callers] Ladies Chain to Allemande Left (Was: Does this dance already exist?)

I didn't catch the difference, Don - see clearly now: a right pull by to a left arm turn move is a chain to and allemande of the same person.  Yup!

Hi Robert, I may be totally missing the point but, in Just Because, the chain and allemande are with *different* people. I agree that's a common bit of choreography with a well established history - particularly so in squares. In the dance I referenced (and how I interpreted - perhaps erroneously - the original request), the person you chain to and the person you allemande with are the *same* people, and the moves proceed directly from one to the other for more than a minor fraction (see below). I'm happy to let go any claim to uniqueness for this approach, should it matter. We all just add little bits to the foundations we've inherited.

In case anyone might be under the assumption that I'd claimed to have invented the Ladies Chain or similar... :-) My understanding of the context of the original post was looking for a modern era dance featuring Ladies Chain with Courtesy Turn, proceeding directly to a full Allemande Left with the same person. That's the sequence in my dance I referenced (and haven't encountered elsewhere before). Fascinating and informative Chain history thread please continue... -Don______________________________ _________________ Callers mailing list Callers(a)lists.sharedweight.net http://lists.sharedweight.net/ listinfo.cgi/callers- sharedweight.net
