I prefer the version with a wave balance to a neighbor swing. For some male dancers this transition may seem awkward because their right hand is in the woman's right hand for the balance, but it has to travel to behind her back for the swing. A point of style that might be pointed out here: at the top of the balance, right hands are connected, but in the middle of the balance the gent can switch to his left hand in her right, while freeing his right hand for the swing position. More easily demonstrated than explained, but that wavy line to a balance will make more sense. As Chris Weiler suggests in his note, "It's always good for the caller to put style points out there, but not get too hung up on them being followed. Some people are ready to hear them, but some aren't." --Jerome -- Jerome Grisanti 660-528-0858 http://www.jeromegrisanti.com For the good are always the merry, Save by an evil chance, And the merry love the fiddle And the merry love to dance. ~ William Butler Yeats
