academie: Palming (was Pavanna la Cornetta)

[Edvard Gayer]

To make certain we're on the same page, and that we're not using the same 
name for two different things....  The hand-holding we did for the "Palming" 
bit was "M&W holding hands, elbows bent, forearm vertical, hand at 
shoulder/neck level."

Out of curiosity, if this is not "palming", what is this called, and what 
*is* palming?

<<but
I'd call it turning your partner, albeit "intensely" (i.e. keeping as close
together as possible), and turning around a central pivot into your 
partner's
place certainly happens in period! (Gelosia, Bizzaria d'Amore, Black Alman,
etc.)>>

That is definitely period, no question.  Taking hands and circling.  If 
"palming" was just code language for grasping hands and circling, then I 
have no problem with that.  If so, then I would change the choreographic 
description, to prevent confusion, and say "take right hands and circle PL" 
or whatever.
