To Start, to Skip or to Reverse Order, was the theme for A-2 Workshop. The dancers found it is much easier to do the whole call than to skip part of the call. However, Todd did notice that dancers were skipping whole calls even when he didn't tell them to. Calls like Pass the Ocean, Pass and Roll, Spin the Top, Relay the Deucey, Load the Boat are more difficult and feel very different when you skip the first or last part of the call. It seems easy on paper, but it does create a bit of a challenge. Also, try doing calls in Reverse Order like, Swing Thru, Spin the Top, Remake, Spin Chain Thru, Pass the Ocean, 1/4 Thru, Diamond Chain Thru and if you really stretch the definition, Coordinate. Todd said he would get letters on that one. He also said he would deny that he actually called it. Dancers seemed to enjoy the worshop even though some of the seasoned dancers had to think a little bit extra on some of the calls. Todd got some good ideas from watching the floor make up their own rules on some calls. Back | Page updated Feb 29, 2008 |
