The Barraclough and Goldman experiences with the dance already have belied my suspicion, but what I was thinking was that the extremely common use of "circle left 3/4 and swing on the side" was going to interfere with "Circle left all the way and swing on the side", and that we might see a failure mode of going three places and swinging partner there.

Reality has already proven me wrong.

If you call it tonight, I suspect some dancers will have some trouble with the circle left all the way around the second and subsequent times through. 

But let us know how it goes!

I think circle left all the way around (rather than 3/4) is not inherently difficult for contra dancers.

Circle lefts that are hard:

- Circle left 1/2. It's so easy to just keep circling.

- Ending with gents ahead of ladies on the side. (e.g. N swing; *then* circle left 1)
  This is because almost all of our circles end with ladies ahead of gents on the side (to set up for a swing, or a pass thru/CA twirl progression), so we're very used to ending our circle lefts with ladies in 1st corner and gents in 2nd corner places.
