Balance right, then left again, Or for this second long wave, Balance left, then right? Haven't done the dance, but if it were me I'd make the second wave balance right and left, just like the first. (It makes sense (to me, anyway), to balance toward neighbor, Rory O'More slide, balance toward neighbor, which gives balance R&L, then L&R, because it's working with the same person. Nonetheless, even when that's called, only about half the dancers actually do it. But there's no Rory O'More slide here. In this case, you don't change orientation with respect to neighbor; allemande 1x gets you into the same line with the same person, so there's no real rationale for changing the balance to L & R. Besides, balance L and R, swing the person in your right hand would be awkward.) -- Alan
