I was not advocating spins and twirls. I was trying to point out that this same figure in a different genre (contra dance) is danced with variations from the strict traditional form and people just dance and enjoy it, they do not micromanage it. It is one of the more common figures found in contra dancing and one can expect to do it 4 or 5 times in an evening. Cheers, Sylvia Miskoe, Concord, NH USA
