RE: The Wheel

Bill Olson noted that the dance can be challenging with the ladies in the outside circle, due to their generally shorter arms.

Given that the promenade is a long 16 beats, Has anyone tried adding a two hand turn after 12 beats to put the gents on the outside? I wonder if this is one of the things that Rick Mohr tried while attempting to reduce socket injuries. ??

Yeah, That's what I was more thinking of than moderately difficult dances like Beneficial Tradition.. I like Gene Hubert's circle mixer "the wheel" :


The Wheel, circle mixer by Gene Hubert

A1 Promenade (CCW)(16)
A2 (face partner Gents facing out, Women facing in) join 2 hands with partner and walk ~8 steps IN (8), join hands in concentric circles and walk ~8 steps back out (8)
B1 all circle LEFT (opposite directions obviously)
B2 *SWING* (nearest person)
