In looking at Kalia's suggestions, I've put the Itchinton dance in what is more readable to me. Kalia, do I have it correct?
As written, it's proper (or, for a non-dancer crowd, "it doesn't matter which side you're on as long as you're across from your partner'), so I'd avoid using the gendered terms in the A2. And as written, it was RH then LH star but I think it flows better the other way.
Itchington Long Dance Hugh Rippon, 1990 (pretending it's) Improper A1: Star L/R; A2:Wm DSD; Mn DSD B1: Ones down center, turn alone, return, cast B2:1s swing and look down for new Nbrs For beginning dancers, I'd change B2 to Long lines forward and back (good for connection, reduces swing time, which is often better for beginners)
Good suggestion! I'm making a note on the card. Kalia
