A-2 Workshop | A-2 Dance | C-1 Dance | C-2 Dance | C-3A Dance Vic presented a challenging mix of various concepts: (1) from two Z's formed from left-hand two-faced line and doing a Step & Slide -- 1/2 Crazy Peel & Trail (2) from outfacing lines with the girls as the left-hand couple and boys as the right-hand couple -- Own the Boys Snap the Lock by Scatter Circulate (3) from a 2x4 formation with boys as facing couples as centers of columns and the girls as ends of lines with their left hands in -- Own the Boys Single File Recycle by Lockit (4) from an interlocked block formation formed from outfacing lines with boys as the left-hand couple and girls as the right-hand couple and having the beaus Press Ahead and then the girls Quarter Left -- Split Phantom Lines Once Removed Circulate (5) from a formation formed from magic columns with right-hand ends and having the centers Trail to a Diamond -- very centers start Cross Concentric Any Hand Remake (6) from totally offset facing couples with all the beaus on the main diagonal -- Split Phantom Lines Relay the Shadow (7) from totally offset right-hand boxes with all the trailers on the main diagonal -- Split Phantom Columns Tandem Remake (8) from two L's formed from the previous formation and doing a Split Phantom Column Circulate -- Split Phantom Columns Walk Out to a Wave the Gamut. Of course, Vic included some asymmetrics: (1) from twin diamonds with one right-handed and one left-handed diamond -- passing right shoulders Unwrap the Diamonds (2) from parallel right-hand ocean waves with a box of boys and a box of girls -- Own the Boys 1/4 the Deucey by 2/3 Recycle (3) from asymmetric parallel left-hand
two-faced lines consisting of one box of boy and one box of girls and having
the centers Box Circulate -- Own the Girls Cast a Shadow by Keep Busy.
Top | A-2 Workshop | A-2 Dance | C-1 Dance | C-2 Dance | C-3A Dance Vic taught several higher level calls that are completely based on Advanced calls or lower: (1) Shadow (Formation) (Anything): from a formation consisting of two tandems as ends and the designated 4-dancer formation as the center -- Ends do the ends part of Cast a Shadow but do not Spread, centers do the "Anything" call. . (Example: from parallel left-hand waves or right-hand two-faced lines: Shadow Box 1/4 Thru.) (2) Cycle & (Anything): from parallel 3&1 lines or a tidal 3&1 line -- dancers in the mini-waves do their part of Recycle, the other dancers do their part of the "Anything" call. (Examples: from parallel 3&1 lines with the couples facing in -- Cycle & Swap Around and Cycle & Mini-Busy.) (3) Scoot Reaction: from parallel ocean waves -- Scoot Back omitting the final extend; all Chain Reaction. (4) Transaction: from parallel columns -- Transfer & Cast Off 3/4; all Chain Reaction. (5) Criss Cross Clover & (Anything):
From any formation from which a Clover & (Anything) call can be executed
-- Out-Facing Couples Cross Cloverleaf and Half Sashay as Others (move
in, if necessary, and) do the "anything" call.
The dance session was not quite so mind-boggling. Although Vic didn't use any of the workshop calls and stuck to the A-2 list, it still wasn't easy. One two-call sequence that started from a tidal line caught many dancers out of postion: As Couple Belles Run; Belles Run. And, of course, it wouldn't be a Ceder dance without a few asymmetric sequences thrown in for fun. Top | A-2 Workshop | A-2 Dance | C-1 Dance | C-2 Dance | C-3A Dance Sunday C-1 Dance Vic used a nice mixture of calls and concepts. Some of the more interesting call involving concepts included: (1) from parallel ocean waves -- Stretch Fan the Top (2) from an eight chain thru formation -- Stretch Pass the Ocean (3) from a tidal wave -- Stretch Ah So (4) from a tidal two-faced line -- Stretch Crossfire (5) from a tidal double pass thru -- Stretch Dixie Sashay (6) from phantom right-hand waves with the real dancers in right-hand mini-waves with the ends facing in -- Phantom Split Transfer (7) from phantom right-hand waves with
the real dancers facing in -- in phantom waves Tally Ho
Top | A-2 Workshop | A-2 Dance | C-1 Dance | C-2 Dance | C-3A Dance This session was primarily a dance. Two of the more interesting calls Vic used were: (1) from parallel left-hand ocean waves -- Once Removed Belles Kick Off (2) from parallel 3-and-1 lines
with the ends facing out and the centers in left-hand mini-waves -- 1/2
Crazy Fan the Top.
