Any suggestions? Thanks!

When Dancing promenades to circle lefts, I don’t like them as an experienced dancer because they don’t feel good and as a caller I watch new dancers struggle with them because they don’t flow logically unless the dancers correct for it (which one won’t know how to do unless they’ve been dancing a very long time and are attuned to momentum.) Does anyone have dances with promenade or right and left throughs that flow into the next figure in a logical and satisfying way?

I love the promenade and loop, though I wouldn’t use it early in the evening with a bus load of beginners unless the experienced folks were really experienced. Sent from my iPhone
