I have a different take on going gender free. My application is with a really gender imbalanced homeschool group. Little kids don't get being called ladies and gents anyway. When the kids pair off I have them pick whether they are a righty or lefty, the only instruction associated with that assignment is that they end their swings standing on the right if they are righties, left for lefties. After that, there is a large subset of the contra moves that are gender free calls. Any move with your partner or neighbor, circles, stars petranella's, square thru's are all without gender reference. A couple of easy examples I like Promenade with Everyone improper A1 Neighbor Do si Do Neighbor swing A2 Promenade across the set Right hand star 3 B1Partner do si do Partner swing B2 Promenade across Circle left 3, pass thru up and down Stars of Fredericktown improper A1Star left Star right A2Neighbor do si do Neighbor swing B1Balance in a circle and petranella twirl Partner swing B2Circle left 3 Neighbor allemande right 1 1/2 Jim Hemphill
