If you call it tonight, I suspect some dancers will have some trouble with the circle left all the way around the second and subsequent times through.   But let us know how it goes! -- Alan On 9/24/16 2:39 PM, Ric Goldman - Letsdance via Callers wrote:   _______________________________________________ Callers mailing list Callers(a)lists.sharedweight.net http://lists.sharedweight.net/listinfo.cgi/callers-sharedweight.net

I also called it as the opener with almost a whole line of beginners. No problems and very positive response. I’ve decided to name it “Sleeping in Redondo” because that’s what I was doing when I put it together.

But let us know how it goes! I think circle left all the way around (rather than 3/4) is not inherently difficult for contra dancers. Circle lefts that are hard: - Circle left 1/2. It's so easy to just keep circling. - Ending with gents ahead of ladies on the side. (e.g. N swing; *then* circle left 1) This is because almost all of our circles end with ladies ahead of gents on the side (to set up for a swing, or a pass thru/CA twirl progression), so we're very used to ending our circle lefts with ladies in 1st corner and gents in 2nd corner places.
