Actually before the allemande, you're standing with your partner in your right hand, so the gents are facing the right way and the ladies are facing the wrong way. After the allemande, you're both facing the same way and ready to walk forward to a new wave. Without needing to say anything about it, one thing you can do to reduce confusion about which way folks are going is to becketize the sets by circling RIGHT one place rather than left. That way the 1's are actually progressing down the hall and the 2's are going up the hall. The progression has you (once you're becketized) progressing to the right one couple each time through the dance. Might be worth it to point out your next neighbors (on the right diagonal) just before starting the walkthru. Take all this bearing in mind that I just got the dance myself and haven't called it before. Jack On 3/24/2010 2:16 PM, Tina Fields wrote:
