[Callers] new (?) dance - with a shadow swing

[Rich Dempsey via Callers]

I like the way you can hand off from shadow to partner. That feels exciting.

What is the aesthetic consideration that leads you to choose a promenade
across?

My personal experience is that the line tends to tighten up, and it's hard
to get across without bumping you neighbors.  I think a R&L through doesn't
have this problem, possibly because we're not traveling together.
Sometimes, I convert it to a traveling swing in an especially tight line
because at the moment of lining up with the larger line, my partner and I
are oriented perpendicularly to it, which takes up less space up and down
the hall. Not sure you could teach that. It requires precision.
