Really? I haven't seen Star Thru in contra much; in MWSD, at least, Star Thru is normally done with partners facing each other, as opposed to the California Twirl with partners facing the same direction. What's being asked for here is a sashayed California Twirl -- I don't think I've ever seen that before. However, "Nevada Twirl" does have plenty of hits when I search, which suggests a clear provenance... (You could argue that in a ring partners are sort-of facing each other, but I think that's a wasted argument when people already have a clear choreographic name for the concept.) -- Hugs and backrubs -- I break Rule 6 http://rule6.info/ <*> <*> <*> Help a hearing-impaired person: http://rule6.info/hearing.html
