[Callers] Alemandery (WAS: Anyone seen this sequence?)

Hi Kalia, As written, at the beginning of B2, folks come out of the nbr swing - 1s below, 2s above. The balance ring gives folks a chance to reorient (1s facing up, 2s facing down). The pass-by L (and turn L around to face the "normal" direction) flows into the subsequent allemande L 1-1/2. Another possible alternative for the pass-by might be a L-shoulder gypsy, which might flow into the nbr allemande L more easily (a "gypsy/allemande meltdown"?) However, going the other way with a normal pass-thru and turn to the R brings the L hands around to connect (perhaps with a clap) for the allemande: B2 1-4 Balance the ring; pass thru (and turn back R into) 5-8 Nbrs allemande L 1-1/2 (to new cpl...) This avoids the counter intuitive pass-by, and while not as smooth a flow, might be an exciting contact point for the dancers. Definitely worth considering :-) Thanx, Ric Goldman -----Original Message----- From: Callers [mailto:callers-bounces@lists.sharedweight.net] On Behalf Of Kalia Kliban via Callers Sent: Thursday, April 16, 2015 3:52 PM To: Caller's discussion list Subject: Re: [Callers] Anyone seen this sequence? I'm not entirely clear on what's happening in B2 1-4. One possible stumbling point, though, is that pass-throughs are almost always by the right shoulder, so you'll need to come up with a really strong way to teach that it's left (LEFT, no, the _other_ left).
