Or swat the flea instead of box the gnat.  Then there wouldn't be a hand 
switch into the allemande.

Re: [Callers] Alemandery (WAS: Anyone seen this sequence?)

[Liz and Bill via Callers]

Hi Ric,

   Some nice transitions and using so many allemands. Resonates with
Centrifugal Hey and Delphiniums and Daisies.

   I agree with Kalia and Roger that B2a seems to be a sticky point.
However I think Roger's suggestion does not flow so nicely out of B1 and
still might be awkward.

How about using an idea from Rolling and Tumbling which I think flows
better.

  B2 LLF on way back Men roll Women away (from right to left),
(women continue their rotation 1/2 way more to); Nbr LA 1 1/2

This requires the women to roll 1 1/2 before the LA which might be too 
dizzy/hard.
A simpler 'roll away' which requires the woman to roll only 1/2 way could be
 used instead.

  B2 LLF on way back the Men starts the lady rolling from right to left,
but she only turns 180 degrees and slides past to connect left hands as they
come back  (so now back in line with men facing in and women facing out
with left hands joined with Nbrs); Nbr LA 1 1/2

Cheers, Bill

[Callers] Alemandery (WAS: Anyone seen this sequence?)

[Ric Goldman via Callers]

Hi Kalia, 

As written, at the beginning of B2, folks come out of the nbr swing - 1s
below, 2s above.  The balance ring gives folks a chance to reorient (1s
facing up, 2s facing down).  The pass-by L (and turn L around to face the
"normal" direction) flows into the subsequent allemande L 1-1/2.  Another
possible alternative for the pass-by might be a L-shoulder gypsy, which
might flow into the nbr allemande L more easily (a "gypsy/allemande
meltdown"?)

However, going the other way with a normal pass-thru and turn to the R
brings the L hands around to connect (perhaps with a clap) for the
allemande:
 
B2  1-4 Balance the ring; pass thru (and turn back R into)
5-8 Nbrs allemande L 1-1/2 (to new cpl...)

This avoids the counter intuitive pass-by, and while not as smooth a flow,
might be an exciting contact point for the dancers.  Definitely worth
considering  :-)

Thanx, Ric Goldman

I'm not entirely clear on what's happening in B2 1-4.  One possible
stumbling point, though, is that pass-throughs are almost always by the
right shoulder, so you'll need to come up with a really strong way to teach
that it's left (LEFT, no, the _other_ left).

Women pull by the right and allemande left neighbor 1X to form a wave 
with the women in the middle
B1  Wave balance, women Rory past each other to neighbor

A2 4 in line down the set, turn as couples
