Re: comparison to moves in the westcountry

Normally in practice it all ends up as a 'flying' one cos ladies are always moving and are going to end up the other side as one is turning anyway....
I still have that problem, but I found that the excellent advice on this thread on leading moves without a change of places helped a lot. I'm now down from 180° to about 45°.

The reason for the name is the man' s 'circle' is follwed by the ladies 'circle' and from bird's eye view looks like 8.
Interesting. One of my teachers said it was due to the motion of the hand: start waist height, move up to go over the guy's head, go back down to chest height, move up to go over the girl's head, and back down to waist height. One of us has been lied to - probably both.
