At this dance session, Anne presented a fairly basic dance. Some of the more interesting calls included: (1) from parallel two-faced lines -- Stretched Box Reach Out (2) from infacing lines -- Left Grand Chain 8 (3) from parallel two-faced lines -- Fascinating Chain Down The Line (4) from a 1/4 line -- Initially As Couples, Scoot & Counter (5) from a tidal wave -- Finally Tandem, Flip Back (6) from parallel single file columns with boys as #1 and #2 in the columns -- Own The Boys, Invert The Column 1/2 by Cross Back (7) from a butterfly trade by -- Split Phantom Ease Off (8) from a stagger eight chain thru with outside belles on the main diagonal -- Split Phantom Column Transfer The Column (9) from a stagger eight
chain thru with outside belles on the main diagonal -- Split Phantom Column
Triple Play
At this session, Anne concentrated on "Reverse". First she taught the "Reverse Order" concept where dancers execute the various parts of a call in reverse order. Examples included: (1) from back-to-back couples -- Reverse Order Right & Left Thru (2) from an ocean wave -- Reverse Order Spin The Top (3) from a right-hand or left-hand ocean wave -- Reverse Order Swing Thru (4) from parallel ocean waves -- Reverse Order Scoot & Weave (5) from an ocean wave -- Reverse Order Swing & Mix (6) from a right-hand ocean wave -- Reverse Order 1/4 Thru. Anne also taught two "Reverse" calls from a higher level that are both executed starting from a diamond: (7) Reverse Flip The Diamond -- centers flip out one position as the points do their part of a Diamond Circulate to become the new centers (8) Reverse Cut The Diamond -- centers trade and then slide apart as the points do their part of a Diamond Circulate to become the new centers. Other interesting calls used during the session included: (9) from outfacing lines -- Left Turn & Deal (10) from facing diamonds
-- Split Counter Rotate. Anne also briefly introduced the "Tandem"
concept where two dancers in single file work as one dancer
At this session, Anne used some of the calls and ideas from the workshop session, and introduced another concept, "Initially", which specifies a another concept immediately after the word "Initially" and is then followed by a call. Dancers execute the given call but do the first part utilizing the specified concept: (1) from parallel ocean waves -- Initially Tandem, Swing Thru (2) from parallel ocean waves -- Initially Tandem, Swing & Mix (3) from parallel ocean waves -- Initially Tandem, Mix (4) from an eight chain thru -- Initially As Couples, Pass & Roll (5) from facing couples -- Initially As Couples, Single Circle To A Wave (6) from a tidal two-faced line -- Initially As Couples Spin The Top (7) from a tidal two-faced
line -- Initially As Couples Mix
This was a basic dance session. Some of the more interesting calls included: (1) from a double pass thru -- All 8 Counter Rotate & Roll (2) from parallel right-hand or left-hand two-faced lines or from inverted lines with infacing ends -- Tally Ho (3) from a formation formed from a completed double pass thru and having the beaus Quarter In -- Do Your Part, All Acey Deucey (4) from a 1/4 tag or parallel single file columns -- Ramble (5) from a same-hand galaxy
-- Tandem-Based Triangles Peel Off
This was also a basic dance session. The only call of interest was: (1) from a formation formed
from parallel ocean waves and having the infacing ends and adjacent centers
Hinge and then the same dancers Phantom All 8 Circulate -- All Phantom
Stretch Recycle
