Friday C-3A Dance

Ett's theme for most of the weekend was "Finish" a call.  Some of these included from a tidal wave, Finish Spin Chain the Line; from parallel two-faced lines, Finish Travel Thru and Finish 1/4 the Deucey;  from parallel right-hand ocean waves, Finish the Axle; and from parallel left-hand ocean waves, Finish Swing the Fractions.  Some of her other more interesting material included  from parallel columns, Split Phantom Columns Triple Play; from parallel left-hand two-faced lines, Own the Trailers Lock the Hinge by Flare Out to a Line; from a tidal completed double pass thru, Tandem Reverse Single Polly Wally; from a formation formed starting from outfacing lines and having the right-hand couples Press Ahead and all the Belles U-Turn Back, Split Phantom Waves Peel & Trail.  A sequence that required a second look was starting from facing twin diamonds with the centers in a left-hand ocean wave, Unwrap the Diamonds then Split Phantom Lines Split Counter Couple Up.

Sunday C-1 Dance

Ett continued to use many of the finishes she used the day before.  She also taught Finish a Recycle from parallel waves and columns.  She also did a quick teach of two calls in the Dixie Style family: Dixie Spin (Dixie Style to a Wave, then Fan the Top) and Dixie Fire (Dixie Sashay, then Crossfire).   Other interesting material included from a 3/4 line, Centers Start as Couples and All Ramble; and from facing twin diamonds with a center left-hand wave, Little.

Sunday C-2 Dance

This session  was primarily  a dance.  Two of the more interesting calls Ett used were Flip Back 1 & 1/2 and Fascinating Partner Tag, both starting from parallel ocean waves.  I don't remember the starting formation she used for Cross Concentric U-Turn Back, but there are many that can be utilized.
