Interesting. I never call dances that instruct the dancers to walk backwards. It always seemed awkward and hazardous on it's face. If I am partnered in such a dance I will usually go ahead and dance it...but I never walk backwards. I alter the dance so that I can walk normally. - Greg McKenzie West Coast, USA On Fri, Aug 30, 2013 at 11:53 AM, Chris Weiler (Home) < chris.wei...@weirdtable.org> wrote: > Please be careful and cautious when using the Dublin Bay down the hall.
