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.
