In response to my most recent post about calling dances in Nantucket, Maia wrote to me:
> Harris, I have the world's stupidest bone to pick with you. Re the dance cards on your website: I don’t think “Duple Neutral” actually means anything?
Okay, I should explain myself.

@harris what about Friday The Third Swing makes you say roles matter?
@olets Larks right shoulder round, if nothing else, but it’s also written so that if you end the partner swing on the correct sides you will finish the dance proper. (You could end the swing wherever and not care if you finish proper, but in this case I think that would be more of a modification than, e.g., swapping roles in galopede.)
