“Corner” does not appear to be well defined from the ending position of that Dosido – normally for a Corner the Lady would look Right.

 

In Give & Take it specifies Dosido 1 & 1/4 which makes it clearer – the person now beside you who you did not Dosido, i.e. the one on your left is the one you Allemande.

 

I would just say Allemande Left on the Left Diagonal.

 

            Happy dancing,

Dear colleagues, 

 

I have had this circle mixer in my box since before 1990, and have long ago lost its name or origin.  Could any of you help?  It has served me well many many times.

 

Formation:  Circle of couples

 

A1    Forward and Back
        Forward again, just the gents come back (ladies turn to face out)
A2  All turn right, promenade single file (ladies clockwise, gents CCW)
      Return
B1  Partner (the last one you swung) dosido
      Corner Allemande left, pass partner by the right
B2  New Partner B and S

 

Richard
