I am in 85% agreement with John! But I like teaching box circ. balances in
particular as right+fwd and left+slightly back, so that EVERYONE (those
moving right and those moving forward) have momentum to carry them to where
they're going next. (I believe I got that one from Lisa Greenleaf...?)

I would always include in the notation the fact that
the balances for a Box
Circulate are MUCH more satisfying if they are Forward & Back - that sets
you up with the right momentum to cross the set.
I really wish callers would specify the direction of every balance; for
instance if the next move is Allemande Left, then balancing Left/Right is
much better than Right/Left (which leaves you too close to the person you
are Allemanding).
Spinning as you cross the set in a Box Circulate is also fun, and much
easier to do if you have balanced Forward & Back.

Happy dancing,
