So, which flows more smoothly onto the swing? Ladies by the left as
Roger describes or ladies by the right as Frannie describes?
The original revolving door figure, with ladies by the right (as Frannie described), flows really nicely for both the gents and ladies roles. The pass thru and ladies catch left is fun too (I forget which dance I've done that has it) but doesn't flow quite as well into the swing.
And I would amend the description from Rick Mohr via Frannie. Since it comes out of a swing, and the ladies have approximately zero beats before they take right hands, the easiest hold is either a waist hold or inside hand hold (gents right--ladies left).
