[Callers] [Organizers] contra dance gypsy

[John Sweeney]

Bob said:
"Walk all around" [the left-hand lady] has been the MWSD terminology, and it
seems adequate to me. Why create new terminology?

The MWSD definition is:
Dance action: Dancers face their corners. Walking forward and around each
other while keeping right shoulders adjacent, dancers return to their
original position, with their backs toward their corner.

This is not quite a Gypsy, no eye-contact, and the final position is with
your back to the person you walked around.

Also, "Walk Around" can mean a number of different moves.  See:

I'm not saying you shouldn't use it.  Just responding to your query :-)

            Happy dancing,
