B teach "Come Down The Middle" with Prom 1/4 (and 3/4) (after H-Prom 1/2 come down the middle)
B teach 1/2 Square Thru
B teach A8Cir: "let go and go" -Harlan Kerr
B teach A8Cir: Difficult because you must visualize the entire square, look around and find everyone in your square
There are several kinds of circulates in square dancing, all circulates have varous paths to follow.
Slot car track with 2 lanes: inside lane and outside lane. The track has strait-a-ways and bank turns top and bottom
"front row" around the corner, "back row" step directly forward to the "front row" to stand in their spots
Difficult because name sounds like circles. but always think straight ahead first, around the corner if you need to
Cpl.C: C must let go of hands, you'll get somebody new
B teach AThar: "box star = pack-saddle grip"
B teach Balnc: "forward-touch-back-touch"
B teach BendL: "C let go, C back up"
B teach BendL: "The two haves of the line bend to face each other"
B teach BxGnt: "G put your R shoulder under the arch"
B teach CalTw: "face your partner StrTh"
B teach CalTw: (after StrTh) "keep your partner's hand, face them and StrTh"
B teach Cir: "visualize two train tracks. stay on your own track and stop at the next station"
B teach Circulates: difficult because you have to be aware of the entire square. before calling Cir, describe the
formation, note position as "front row" or "back row". after doing Cir, tell dancers to note the path
B teach Circulates: use outsides and insides before using centers and ends
B teach DPT: "you'll eventually pass thru two people"
B teach Ext: "outside couples notice there are two of you and two backs in the wave front of you - one for each of you.
follow the back in front of you one step forward to find a new wave"
B teach HSash: HSash Twice (build up to HSash 1-1/2)
B teach PtTrd: "face your partner; pass R shouders"...
B teach PtTrd: "no hands" CalTw - now do it in slow motion... notice you pass R shoulders 1/2 way through
B teach PtTrd: (from sashayed) G is going to make a wide arc out around the B
B teach RLT: "try the CtsyT without looking down at your hands"
B teach SqThr/LSqTh: (practice Pull By) [LO] RPlBy BendL LPlBy BendL etc.
B teach SqThr: "Which hand is holding partner? Always turn toward this direction" (esp. when sashayed)
B teach SqThr: "walk the (4) edges of your box" (especially for sashayed arrangement)
B teach SqThr: (normal arrangement) girl's last hand of SqTh4 needed again to hold her partner (two L hands in a row)
B teach SqThr: shake R-H PasTh, turn in, shake L-H now L shoulder do a left PasTh etc.
B teach StrTh "Let go of your partner. With that same hand, with the person you are facing, make a 2 person Star"
cue: "with the one you're facning, partner hand, STAR ... THRU - she goes under, you're a couple - they're now your (temporary) partner"
B teach StrTh: "this call is hard because you must first let go of partner and then use that same hand"
B teach SwThr: "Half Right LET GO! then Half Left"
B teach SwThr: "Repeat after me: SwThr always starts with the R-H" -Andy Shore
B teach Weave styling: timing works better (easier) after SlipC AL (as typically called)
B teach Weave: (gay styling) associate each action with a count to beat of music. shoulder pass is 2 beats.
B teach WhlAr: "as a couple in place - your handhold stays centered over the same spot" ("keep the handhold rotating over the same spot")
B teach WhlDl: "all you need for WhlDl is one line of 4" (helpful when teaching from [TL]/[TF])
B teach WhlDl: "there's a couple on the R and a couple on the L" (procede to explain what each does)
B teach WhlDl: demo to a single dancer standing next to you (facing the same way / looking over your shoulder)
using your hands palm up in front of you, flop R-H over palm down, then flop L-H over on top
B teach WlkAC / SeSaw "turn them with your eyes" (some folks over do this: "watch the high-beams")
B teach XRun: talk about where all the genders are before explaining what to do
B teach Zoom: "Exchanging places front to back"
B teach [Q] Ext: "C Wave hands: both busy before, both busy after; one free before, one free after"
B teach [Q] Ext: "middles stay middles" (VC of wave should aim for C of outside couple)
B teach waves: "center hand" / "partner hand" (before doing trades, etc.)
B teach: "when you meet in the same spot, share with a R-H" -Mike Kellogg
B teach/cue: G-"stick your tongues out" (to help dancers in same sex
groups identify each other) -Bill Eyler
