Hi Everyone,
The “Young Adult Rose” which I made up goes thus:
Duple Improper
A1: w/neighbor, balance and swing
end progressed
A2: Circle left 3/4 til gents are back home;
w/partner, pass right shoulder;
w/shadow, left hand turn
B1: With partner, balance and swing
B2: Ladies chain across;
star left
The only differences from The Baby Rose are (1) the title, the “baby” having become a
“young adult” when, over 20 years later, we met at Camp Unirondack and he introduced
himself (“I was the Baby Rose!”), and (2) the latter part of A2, wherein the arguably
overly accommodating partner dos-a-dos morphs into what's above.
I will just observe that, even if different from and perhaps somewhat less satisfying than
what I made up, having to turn with *right* hands rather than left hands seems a bit
inconsequential to me, considering what’s going on in the world around us these days.
One might well wonder if the revolting individuals chose to at least be gracious.

Hmm, this is interesting. I picked it up from JoLaine Jones-Pokorney's site, where
it's written as allemande R. I haven't been able to find the notes anywhere else,
when I was looking to see whether I just had an odd version. Anybody else have this in
their files? Is it left or right in your version?

http://lists.sharedweight.net/listinfo.cgi/callers-sharedweight.net I called Young Adult Rose last night and
experienced a near-complete
dancer revolt about the shadow allemande. The dance is written with a
circle left 3/4, pass P by R along the line then allemande shadow R 1x,
before coming back to P for a balance and swing. The dancers all
_really_ wanted to do the allemande by the left. I tried calling it a
few times with the R hand, then gave up and called it L and they were
all much happier. Anyone else experienced this?

I don't have the dance mentioned so I started to analyse what I'd be
able to respond to by reformatting the above to short lines of complete,
necessary words. I just couldn't picture it in the narrative style.
It looked like I was missing something for my understanding of the
dance. I didn't find it on-line, however looking in my personal archives
of this list I found a discussion about the dance from 2012.10.26-28
According to one poster Young Adult Rose _is_ danced with an allemande
left.
