DANCE REPEATS WITH NEW PARTNER
NERVOUS BREAKDOWN is a version of Big Set where every movement is done with a new partner (i.e. RH turn move on, LH turn, move on, 2H turn, move on, dosido, move on,swing (move on) and promenade). It is usual to star with Big Set and then the caller decides when the move on is made until dancers move on for every movement
