Interesting question Don!
Being one of those "trip to" choreographers, I think there are a number of
reasonable places to draw the reference from. Certainly the obvious one of
writing it while on the way to or from the particular location. Then it
might also be to commemorate or honor an individua

Hi Dorcas! Yes, Susan once told me when she called in Dallas that was why
she named Trip to Phan (or however it's been handed around) what she did: a

For what it's worth, I usually call the A2 as gents allemande left until they
can swing their neighbor (12 count swing). I think dancers have a hard time
with doing balance and swing that starts on the 5-6-7-8 of the music and only
