I agree with Mark! This is a fabulous dance as it is and the dosido for the women is just hard enough to be a fun challenge. (When I was a new dancer, dosido 1 1/2 was the hardest move for me to do gracefully and on time. I was so happy when I got it right!) When the caller teaches the alternate B2

Hi, I have always used the original version and don't ever recall the dancers having trouble with the DSD progression. While I respect and admire the folks creating variants they find helpful for their needs, for me, if it ain't broke, I'm not going to fix it. Also, I must say that pleased me gre

Fwiw, if I were to write a variation of 3-33-33 (and wanted to avoid ladies chain/star L), I'd do a figure like in Al Olson's 'Ann Arbor Four': long lines (8), P alle. R 3/4 (4), ladies alle. L 1/2 (4). Agreed that ladies' allemande L out of long lines, while there's no reason it doesn't flow, is b

Dugan, I have seen what you call 4-44 called by others as a variation of 3-33, but I do not know if it actually exists as another dance with a different title, or just as a variation of 3-33.  Perry From: Dugan Murphy via Callers To: Callers List Serve Sent: Friday, December 16, 201

Hi Dugan and all,... let's get the original dance down here: originally the dance was titled 3-33-33. The title had to do with the way the money split on a tour Steve took with "Fresh Fish" back in the 80's (I think). I have the author as Steve Zakon back then.. but now this guy Steve Zakon-Ande

Dear Shared Weighters, I wanted to call "3-33" by Steve Zakon-Anderson recently, but with a different B2 progression that would be easier for dancers to execute and for me to teach. Does this dance already exist under another title? If not, I'd like to call it "4-44" to present it in clear homag

Terrific research, Jeff! Let me add a couple "variables" and info bits... -Because Ladies at Play (from OK) and I (from TX) were both at C-13, we had a great turnout of dancers, and bookers from that area in Atlanta... You'll notice that Austin, Dallas, and OKC are among the best at booking Catapu
