I turn to face my Neighbor and use the weight shared
with him [he's in my right hand] to propel me forward.
I enjoy that move because of the slight 'pull'
between us as I turn and we pass. But you are right
....Not as much fun if he drops hands early or gives
no weight ...... then I have to make the turn totally
on my own and initiate the forward movement on my own!

Hi,
Preparing to call, I just walked through a dance
where I wanted to know
where each man and each woman would be. It was a
move we do very (!) often
now: from Becket formation the first move is circle
left ¾ and pass
through. In this case you pass through to new
neighbors and do-si-do there.
For the men this is a very smooth move. The circle
left ¾ leaves them
facing in the direction they need to go. But it
seems that the women have to
turn around (????!!!!) if they are to progress to
new neighbors in the same
direction as the men. Women, is this true? Who
knew!? The women knew. If
it is true, how do you manage it? When I tried it I
was not (!) graceful.
