Re: [Callers] Code's Compiling

Code's Compiling by Sam Whited (Duple becket) A1. Neighbor dosido (8); Partner see saw (8) A2. Shadow swing (16) B1. Balance and petronella (8); Balance and petronella (8) B2. Partner swing (8); Left diagonal: Right and left through (8) Hi Sam, Just a few suggestions. Seesaw has multiple meanings; it could be a left shoulder dosido (old MWSD definition), it could be a left shoulder gypsy (current MWSD definition), it could be the men walking in a dosido path around a stationary lady (see 37 seconds in at http://squaredancehistory.org/items/show/654). Whereas dosido (which has countless spellings and more meanings) has been standardised in the contra community, I don't believe seesaw has, so I would always specify which one I mean. When you say "Shadow swing" you haven't yet established who the shadow is. I guess you mean the person beside you in the long lines, but it depends on the dance; your shadow could be some distance away. Again, I would suggest you specify who you mean. Balance and Petronella: I guess you mean Balance the Ring and Petronella. The original dance from which the Petronella move was taken didn't have hands joined in a ring - see http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TamzPchX--I So unless you say it is a ring/circle readers might assume you are using the original move and not join hands. Again, it helps to make things clear if you use a few more words. Hope that helps.
