Notes

DosiAll: All three people do a dosido with each other at the same time, as though all three are gypsying with a slightly triangular path. Go forwards slightly to the left, go sideways, go backwards. You must start at the same time or you will crash. That is what the Balance the Ring is for. You launch yourself into the DosiAll together, using the tension from the balance-back to get you going at the same time. It actually works really well if you do spinning dosidos (starting forwards to your left).
