Bill,
Thanks for letting me know the square dancing terminology. When I
wrote the dance I was trying to think of a move (or a variation on a
move) that I didn't see used in contra dancing, at least not in dances
I had done.
I think the swing in A2 is fine as the dancers are facing a new
neighbor and have plenty of time for the swing. Someone, like Seth,
who has called the dance a lot may have more feedback on that. If I
remember correctly, I think when he first called it he had the dancers
swing their current neighbor instead of their new neighbors. I'm not
sure how that would work.

Hi Janet,
An interesting use of California twirl. Looks like a neat dance.
I'm getting a lot of square dancers
at my contra dances in New Zealand. In MWSD terminology "California
twirl and face back in" is
"California twirl and roll". How do women find the swing coming out
of the California twirl in A2?
Cheers, Bill
