This is Elio Lewis, the OP mentioned above. I stumbled onto this blog post when searching the internet for my name. I was very surprised to see myself in connection with a 10-year-old discussion! Though I've been away from contra dancing, I'm pleased that the discussion has continued, and that the broad consensus now is to make a switch.
FYI, I deleted my original post as part of deleting all my Facebook posts at one point. I knew that some amount of my old posts didn’t represent me anymore, so I just took everything down. The post cited here, however, I still basically stand behind—although I do like the new, descriptive terminology of “right shoulder round” better than my original idea.
Thank you to jefftk for speaking up, continuing this discussion, and taking a position on the matter.
