I think translating the dance names just adds confusion. Now people have
to remember TWO names for the dance. As for dreadful memnonics, people
use them for country dances,too. For instance, around here Heartsease is
known as "Spurn & Turn". The problem with remembering dance names is that
the name (in any language) so often has nothing to do with the character
of the dance.
