that Seth Tepfer had already done so, and his worked better than what I had

For eye dominance, you offer someone a piece of paper with a small hole in it
and ask them to look through. Whichever eye they hold the paper up to is their
dominant eye.

Right now I have index cards with moves where I list
all the dances with those moves. (Thus handling dances
that have multiple features.) And yes, there's one labeled
"Mary Cay's move." Entries on it are:

This happens a lot and I have a couple of approaches to it.
First, if most of the dancers know what they are doing (and there is no
knot of newbies somewhere at the end of a line), I won't worry about
people jumping ahead, as a detailed description is not necessary.
If enough dancers may have

I bat a baseball as a lefty, but I write right...
Someone will need to write that dance. It'll need to include things like,
circle left,
left hand star,
allemande left,
start a hey with the left shoulder,
and other similar left leaning figures,
maybe even someone left out for a moment...

Today I am right handed however the story goes that my family didn't want a
lefty so they retrained me or so the story goes. My family never lets facts
get in the way of a good story, so neither will I. Count me in with the
righty's but having a secret yearning to be a lefty.

When this thread title came up I thought it was a new dance title, something
like Waiting for Godot. Au contraire!
For the survey, I am:
~ right hand dominant
~ left eye dominant
~ probably right brain dominant
Fascinating factoid: For many years I entertained myself during long family
trips
LOL! i thought you were looking a little lopsided lately ;-p
