I’m with you, Martha! All that “ravens pass left, neighbours pass right” stuff is just noise to me (and always was, even as a new dancer)—I always wondered who they were talking to up there—I couldn’t imagine how anyone could process all that information coming at them like a machine gun!). I just needed the floor pattern and I was fine. Personally I’ve settled on “everyone passes by right shoulders when in middle of the set and everyone passes by left shoulders on the sides” as a compromise between too much info vs. too little. But I like the drawing of the floor pattern idea as a quick adjunct for the visual learners out there like me. I toyed for a while with bringing a fan belt (rubber loop) and crossing it in the middle to show the weaving pattern, but magic marker on manilla folder is considerably more practical! :-) Yes, everyone learns differently, so it’s helpful to teach it in more than one way. Thanks, everyone, for all the useful suggestions! Becky (Toronto)
