I don't see a problem with changing the moves slightly for the crowd.  I know that some folks believe that the dance is just fine written as-is, and if it's too difficult call something else.  I don't think that's fair.  The L allemande left I don't think is any more awkward than the usual allemande right - it's just not something that we don't usually do.  I happen to think that allemandes are easier and less disorienting than the do-si-do progression.  The L chn, LH star progression I like as well.  For 3-33-33, not sure where you could pass thru next N DSD.  You're adding another circle to the dance that already has a circle, and many dancers don't like too many circles. Also, I agree with Michael Fuerst that this dance, albeit a great dance, IS called quite frequently that it kind of lessens my fun in doing the dance.  Perry ________________________________ From: Ron Blechner <contraron(a)gmail.com> To: Caller's discussion list <callers(a)sharedweight.net> Sent: Friday, June 21, 2013 4:15 PM Subject: [Callers] Do Si Do 1+1/2 (was Tampering with a classic again 3-33-33) Depending on dance kinematics, music tempo, and crowd, naturally, but... I can't be the only one who thinks do si do 1.5 times is often too rushed for most new dancers? I often change dances that end with DSD N 1.5x to Next N To Pass thru, DSD Next N for this very reason.
