yeah, well me too.. What I DON't like is something like: progress to new neighbors and get half way through a balance and have the dance end at that point..

In B2 I will often say something like, "listen to the call,.. long lines forward and back, swing your partner one last time".. Not always and some times getting the partner swing at the end is pretty contrived so i just let it go and say "locate and thank your partner"..

What I personally do is beside the point, though, I guess. I'm pretty sure Ted Sannella called the whole last time thru..

Personal perspective. I like ending with partner swing. I don't like to call the entire last change. I do call a fair number of becket dances (and even rejigger some that were not originally becket) to end with partner swing. When I I do chime back in at the end of a dance it's just for the last measure before the change will occur. And I try to keep the calls in synchrony with the music -- so I don't blow up that special ending. Ridge
