(2) from a parallelogram of outfacing lines with the left-hand couples overlapping in the center -- Parallelogram Trip The Set

(3) from parallel right-hand ocean waves -- Once Removed Trail Off

(4) from a double pass thru -- Initially Once Removed, Circle To A Wave

(5) from a right-hand tidal wave -- Initially Stable, Any Hand Remake

(6) from outfacing lines -- Own The Beaus, Here Comes The Judge by Shakedown

(18) from a formation formed from outfacing lines and having the right-hand couple Press Ahead and then having all dancers quarter out -- Split Phantom Lines Regroup.

Saturday A-2 Workshop

Multiple problems with the sound equipment disrupted the workshop session, so Todd didn't really much time to workshop calls. However, he managed to call some interesting material, some of which required a second look:

(1) from infacing lines -- As Couples Zig Zag

(2) from infacing lines -- As Couples Square Chain Thru

(3) from outfacing lines -- Mix

(4) from parallel two-faced lines -- Trail Off

(5) from a couples promenade -- Heads Lead Cast A Shadow

(6) from a static square -- All 4 Couples Box The Gnat

(7) from facing twin diamonds -- Crossfire

(8) from an "I" consisting of a center right-hand ocean wave and outside outfacing couples -- Spin The Windmill In

(9) from an "I" consisting of a center right-hand ocean wave and outside infacing couple -- Split Square Chain Thru

(10) from a formation formed from parallel 3-and-1 lines with the ends facing in and the centers in a left-hand mini-wave and having the right-mini wave dancers Hinge -- Split Square Chain Thru (mini-wave dancers start)

(11) from a tidal formation consisting of center box of infacing couples between right-hand mini-waves with all dancers facing perpendicular to the long axis -- All Square Thru 4 (dancers work on a split basis).

Saturday A-2 Dance

This dance session was similar to Todd's workshop session in that the material was interesting and some calls, including some Mainstream calls, required a second look:

(1) from a static square: Head Ladies Chain To The Right and Side Ladies Chain To The Left

(2) from a couples promenade -- Heads Backtrack

(3) from an alamo ring -- Start With A Right, Spin Chain Thru

(4) from parallel ocean waves -- Spin Chain The Gears But Turn The Stars 1/2 and Spin Chain The Gears But Don't Turn The Stars

(5) from a tidal formation consisting of center box of infacing couples between right-hand mini-waves with all dancers facing perpendicular to the long axis -- All Spin The Top (dancers work on a split basis)

(6) from a tidal formation consisting of center box of infacing couples of girls between right-hand mini-waves of boys with all dancers facing perpendicular to the long axis -- Everyone Half Breed Thru (dancers work on a split basis).
