Cc: Maia McCormick <maiamcc@gmail.com>, Shared Weight Callers' Listserv <callers@lists.sharedweight.net >I find that there aren’t many dances with a Promenade or RL that are NOT followed by a circle left. 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?Sent from my iPhoneHello Maia,I put one together a couple of years ago. I tried to make the timing as forgiving as possible, thus the Balance the Ring and Pass Thru, instead of CL 3/4 & Pass Thru.My Corduroy Blazer (D/I)A1: N DSD, N SwgA2: Gents Alle L 1-1/2.

Cc: Caller's discussion list <callers@sharedweight.net>Yes! 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
