We shouldn't confuse new callers by failing to point out that there are other contras that use a different shadow. The shadow Brian speaks of is similar to the corner in a square. The other shadow could be compared to a right-hand lady (left-hand gent) in a square. Just by looking at the positioning and timing in the B2 it would make sense for the shadow to be of the 'corner' variety. If it was a r-h lady (left-hand gent) shadow the instructions would probably say allemande left partner once around. In this dance using a 'corner' shadow would ensure a longer partner swing. When you're not sure, it's always a good idea to diagram the choreography. Great dance! T
