Oh, good point. I know Michael Karcher once told me the opposite of a California Twirl was a Jersey Twirl, but I've heard other names used.

Taminations and ceder.net seem to indicate that the only specific phrasing used for this is a "mirror star through" (see definitions/demonstrations of double and triple star thru).

Technically, I believe the hands for a CA Twirl and Star Thru are the same - only difference is which way the dancers are facing.

Subject: Re: [Callers] Opposite StarThru and functional difference in LD v Slide
 
Isn't #1 just a California Twirl (unless we want to debate whether it can only be a Cali Twirl if we're using those hands AND they're our outside hands)?

For #2 I'd say there isn't much of a difference aside from suggesting a path on the floor to the dancers. LD circle left might feel more crowded as a result.

Two questions:

1) We have box the gnat (right hand to right hand), swat the flea (left hand to left hand), and star thru (Lark/Gent right hand to Lady/Raven left hand). What is the name of the opposite of a star thru (Lark/Gent left hand to Lady/Raven right hand)?

2) What is the functional difference between slide left circle left 3/4 and on the left diagonal circle left 3/4?


Thanks

Seth
