I like the way you can hand off from shadow to partner. That feels exciting.

What is the aesthetic consideration that leads you to choose a promenade across?

My personal experience is that the line tends to tighten up, and it's hard to get across without bumping you neighbors.  I think a R&L through doesn't have this problem, possibly because we're not traveling together.  Sometimes, I convert it to a traveling swing in an especially tight line because at the moment of lining up with the larger line, my partner and I are oriented perpendicularly to it, which takes up less space up and down the hall. Not sure you could teach that. It requires precision.

Hello all,

I know the list has had big debates about shadow swings in the past. If you don't like 'em, you can pitch this. This dance was written for someone who wanted a shadow swing, and is something I might call at a shadow-themed festival session. As shadow swings go, I like the idea of swingus interuptus going from shadow to partner.

To my knowledge, it's a new composition. Haven't gotten to test it yet. But I present it for comment and/or collection.
