It?s descriptive, certainly, but it is long and unwieldy and can?t be easily shortened to anything recognizable as you eliminate calls in the dance. So, I?m sorry, but I?m not going to be using it. Martha callers(a)lists.sharedweight.net&gt; wrote: dances. I think this quite important for beginners (not necessarily just the first time) who face enough confusion learning the terminology. One of the reasons why beginners don?t return is that it is too confusing. callers(a)lists.sharedweight.net <mailto:callers@lists.sharedweight.net>> wrote: three callers at a dance event used it and it went rather flawlessly. I like the fact that it is actually descriptive in what you're doing. I think that the more we try to invent made-up words to try to make it sound fun and whimsey, the more we are likely to upset dancers who don't like that we're changing terms as it is. It may *sound* like a boring descriptor, but I feel my job as a caller is to describe the move and let the dancer decide what the mood is going to be for that individual dancer, based on their own feelings and their own connection to the music. So I plan to stick with "right shoulder round".
