IS THERE A SUCH THING AS LEFT CHAIN REACTION? OR, IS LEFT CHAIN REACTION IN THE WORKS TO BE ADDED?
Thank you. I'm not one of "THOSE" "challenge callers who don't know any better, but I called it for my Advanced people and also for his group while he was away for three weeks. I don't mind saying that with this little speech of his I felt insulted and felt like going home. In point of fact, I went into an ante room to dry my eyes.
So, IS THERE A LEFT CHAIN REACTION??? Or, will there be?
This caller's opinion of the call having terrible flow, is just that - an opinion. In my opinion, the caller used bad judgment in inflicting his opinion upon the floor. There's most likely plenty of other topics that would better suit the dancers.
Forcing a different shoulder pass just because you don't like the definition of the call shouldn't be inflicted upon the dancers, and is a dis-service when those dancers go out to dance in the real world, to other callers. Prefixing the call with Left is often done by callers as a helper word to warn the dancers that the call will feel different (e.g., Left Scoot Chain Thru (from a L-H 1/4 Tag), to wake up the outside dancers to use the L-H).
Anyway, there is a 'Left' Chain Reaction, which would be the mirror version. It's an almost certainty that it will never be added to the list. I would only consider using it at C2 or above, and only if I wanted the outsides to do a mirror partner hinge.
As a dancer, you have the option of expressing your displeasure to the caller, and/or not dancing to him again.
