This is my page of dances, snapshot from 2013.
- | There must be smooth flow, by position, direction, and hand hold. | |
- | The timing must be clean - not too tight or too loose and not widely varying in different phrases, and any timing sloppiness should be within a 16 count phrase. | |
- | There must be a partner swing (that means everyone, not just the ones). | |
- | Shadow swings are not allowed. | |
- | Swings end at the end of a 16 count phrase. | |
- | The dance must not be excessively clockwise. | |
- | Circles and stars should be a maximum of once around, allemandes maximum 1+3/4, and do-si-dos maximum 1+1/4. | |
- | Maximum of three balances. | |
- | Maximum of one circle left, regardless of the circle distance. |
- | There must be a neighbor swing or a figure that is interesting enough to make up for the lack of one. | |
- | There should be exactly one minimum 12 count swing. This includes a 16 count balance and swing, gypsy and swing, or swing. Three swing dances are excluded from this rule. | |
- | The basic figures, circle left, star left, star right, ladies chain across, right and left through across, etc. are not to be used more than once in a dance unless all uses are part of the central theme. | |
- | The total number of figures should be minimal. | |
- | Time spent standing still should be minimal. | |
- | There should be minimal filler (figures that just take up time). |
- | The partner swing should be the last swing of the dance. | |
- | There should be an interesting buildup to one or both swings. | |
- | There should be a theme or symmetry that holds the figures together as a dance. | |
- | Long lines forward and back seems to me to be an opening figure, so I will not use it in B1 or B2 (unless paired with another in A1 or A2). | |
- | Petronella turns, Rory O'More slides, and push offs in heys need to be used in pairs to feel right. | |
