--- Donna wrote: How about Circle Left 3/4? Lately, I've been programming specifically to avoid having a circle in each dance. It's surprisingly difficult to find dances that don't have circles. --- end of quote --- I don't have time now to sift through cards, but I'm wondering how much of this circle left phenomenon 3/4 is there to maneuver people into position so everyone can have a partner swing (much more easily done on the side of the set than in the center) and a neighbor swing (ditto). In the older dances-- Money Musk Chorus Jig Rory O'More Hull's Victory Lady of the Lake Lamplighter's Hornpipe Petronella etc. -- there's nary a circle left to be found. But then, in those dances there wasn't the expectation of the partner swing, nor of flow, which came into popular taste starting in the 1980s, or thereabouts. Just wondering... David Millstone
