Re: Two Chords

I agree totally! I like the idea of crossing over on the 2nd chord (although
doing so on the first and bowing/curtseying on the 2nd would be fine too, but if
you start trying to change this now, you'll end up with confusion for the next
few decades). Some argued it made things rushed, but if people know what they
are doing, they'll change on cue and it will look much neater than changing over
as the sets are being counted (and if they haven't picked up the fact that they
had to change over, then it doesn't bode well for the rest of the dance and
maybe they should have sat that one out...)

Cheers,
Sophie
