Re: chassee across

It may work, but it is what they meant by it? Dance instructions have changed so much even within our lifetime that I wonder how we can dare to guess what earlier instructions meant E.G. Early editions of the Community Dance Manual say 'right hands across', and it might seem reasonable to think it means 'give right hands and change places', but it means R hand star. Plus the 'half way' or 'there and back' in ladies chains etc. Mo Waddington http://mo-dance-caller.blogspot.co.uk/p/what-i-do.html ----- Original Message ----- From: djeh_b(a)yahoo.com [trad-dance-callers] To: trad-dance-callers(a)yahoogroups.com Sent: Saturday, February 25, 2017 10:13 PM Subject: Re: [trad-dance-callers] chassee across I also teach Irish, and the chassee is very different from house around. That said, Jacob's advice worked great. Thanks!
