I have seen it called as a Sicilian Circle, which eliminated the end effects.

I have always thought part of the difficulty is that the ladies momentum is 
away from each other in that last pull by, leaving them a distance away from 
each other. On the end there can be some indecision about being in or out. In 
XYZ (which has a different set of challenges at the end with the "reverse") the 
momentum brings the ladies toward each other to start the next round, and makes 
it a little more obvious when you are out. Those dancing gent can help by 
giving SUBTLE weith in the correct direction after the last pull-by.

Happy New Year,

Those of you who have called this dance a lot, have you noticed the same issue? 
 How do you teach the B2-A1 transition to minimize the confusion and end 
effects?

Re: [Callers] Beneficial Tradition

[Ryan Smith via Callers]

The rule for the end-effects on this one is surprisingly simple:
"If nobody gives you their hand, don't go anywhere."

The messiness usually comes from people feeling like they should be going
somewhere, similar to what happens with a diagonal chain or right & left
through.  This is just different enough that people don't think to stay put
if there's nobody there.

The end result is that as you're going off the end and back in that:
pull-by-left:  everyone moves
pull-by-right:  gent stays put
pull-by-left:  pull by with partner
pull-by-right: lady stays put

If you have an odd number of couples, there will be a couple out at the end
which gives you a slightly different sequence, but in principle it's the
same.

[Callers] Beneficial Tradition

[Kalia Kliban via Callers]

Hi all,

I recently called Beneficial Tradition for the first time and noticed a 
consistent hitch in the dance at the top of the set.  It was probably 
happening at the bottom too.


I was doing the variant with no wave balance in the A1, just Women 
allemande L 1x and P swing.  Though the transition from the pull-bys in 
the B2 to that L allemande worked well inside the line, it was always 
funky at the ends.  I'm speculating that that's because folks coming out 
of the pull-by pattern into empty space at the end were tending to head 
in a consistent incorrect direction.


Those of you who have called this dance a lot, have you noticed the same 
issue?  How do you teach the B2-A1 transition to minimize the confusion 
and end effects?


Kalia

ps Happy New Year, everyone!
