Tea Cup Chain |
People
Involved |
8 dancers |
START |
Static Square, or proceeding from
everyone doing a Left Arm Turn with partner. |
END |
Static Square |
Movement |
The caller will
specify two ladies to move to the center at the start of the call, e.g.,
"Head ladies center for a Teacup Chain". For the rest of the definition,
these two ladies will be called the "specified ladies". The specified
ladies (both Head ladies or both Side ladies) move to the center and
Star Right three-quarters to meet their corners for a Left Arm Turn. At
the same time, the other two ladies move to the right around the
perimeter of the square to their corners, and do a Right Arm Turn.
Following the Arm Turns, the specified ladies move around the perimeter
of the square to their new corners for a Right Arm Turn, while the other
ladies go to the center and Star Left once and a quarter to meet their
new corners for a Right Arm Turn.
The specified ladies then move to the center and Star Left once and a
quarter to their new corners for a Right Arm Turn, while the other
ladies move to their new corners (around the perimeter of the square)
for a Left Arm Turn.
Finally, the specified ladies move to their new corners (their original
partners) for either a Courtesy Turn or a Left Arm Turn leading into the
next command, while the other ladies move to the center and Star Right
three-quarters to meet their new corners (their original partners) for
either a Courtesy Turn or a Left Arm Turn leading into the next command.
Everyone finishes with his/her original partner.
If the caller desires the men to execute the ladies part and vice versa,
as described above, the starting formation is a Static Square with all
couples half-sashayed, or proceeding from everyone doing a Left Arm Turn
with their partner. The proper call is the "Head/Side Men Center for a
Teacup Chain". |

Ping Pong Circulate |
People
Involved |
8 dancers |
START |
1/4 tag |
END |
1/4 tag |
Movement |
The movement
starts and ends in a Quarter Tag formation. Each dancer Circulates, or
moves forward one position along the path shown in Figure 1. The
movement may also be called when there is a left-hand wave in the
center. In this case, the path circulated along is as shown in Figure 2.
It should be noted that the Circulate paths are independent of each
other. Therefore, it is possible for only those on the outside path
(dancers numbered 1, 2, 3, 4 in Figures 1 & 2) to Ping Pong Circulate or
only those on the inside path (dancers numbered 5, 6, 7, & 8 in Figures
1 & 2) to Ping Pong Circulate.
(Sorry! I did not make numbered figures!)

START |
Lines of four, with centers facing in,
and the ends of each line facing the same (in or out) direction. |
END |
8-chain |
Movement |
The end dancers
move forward around the outside, passing right shoulders with three
moving end dancers, and turn one-quarter in (90) to stand beside the
third person passed, facing the center of the set as a couple.
Simultaneously, the center four dancers Pass Thru, turn their backs to
their momentary partners, Partner Trade with their new partners, and
Pass Thru. |

Extend |
People
Involved |
2 or more dancers |
START |
Double Pass Thru / Parallel Ocean Waves |
END |
1/4, 1/2, 3/4, or full tag formation |
Movement |
All dancers
release handholds (if necessary), step forward and form an ocean wave
with the couple they are facing. If the Extend leaves dancers facing no
one, they remain facing out. If the starting formation is right-handed,
dancers Extend to a right-handed formation; if the starting formation is
left-handed, dancers Extend to a left-handed formation. From a Double
Pass Thru formation, dancers Extend to a right-hand Quarter Tag
formation. From a Quarter Tag formation, dancers Extend to parallel
waves. From parallel waves, dancers Extend to a 3/4 Tag formation, from
a 3/4 Tag formation, dancers Extend to a completed Double Pass Thru
formation. |

circulate or Z formation. |
END |
line |
Movement |
Each lead dancer
turns away from the center of the starting formation, walks in a
semi-circle and steps forward to become an end dancer of the new line.
Meanwhile, each trailing dancer steps forward and does a U turn back,
turning away from the center of the starting formation to become the
center dancer of the new line. From one couple following another, the
ending formation is a line of four; from a Z, the ending formation is a
two-faced line; from a box circulate, dancers may have to take one step
forward to adjust to a two-faced line. |

Linear Cycle(from waves only) |
People
Involved |
4 dancers |
START |
wave |
END |
facing couples |
Movement |
(For programs
other than Plus, allowable formations include any formation in which the
end and adjacent center can single or partner hinge. This is a three
part call.)
Part 1. The ends and adjacent centers hinge. Part 2. Those facing out
fold behind those facing in and all dancers will then move forward in a
Double Pass Thru action. Part 3. If the hinge is right-handed, peel
right; if the hinge is left-handed, peel left to end as facing couples.
From a right-hand hinge, all will pass right shoulders. From a left-hand
hinge, all will pass left shoulders.
An added note just for information from beyond the Plus Program -- From
any inverted lines or some three in one lines, the passing rule shall
prevail. (Not applicable in the Plus Program.) |

Movement |
All dancers
Single File Circulate once and a half. The center six (three adjacent
pairs) Trade (turn 180). The very center two dancers release handholds
and walk diagonally outward to the end of the forming lines. The two
lonesome dancers walk ahead, moving in a quarter circle, to become the
other ends of the forming lines. |

(Anything) and Spread |
People
Involved |
4 or more dancers |
START |
various |
END |
various |
Movement |
This call can be
used in three ways:
(1) If only some of the dancers are directed to Spread (e.g., from a
static square, Heads Star Thru & Spread), they slide apart sideways to
become ends, as the inactive dancers step forward between them.
(2) If the (Anything) call finishes in lines or waves (e.g., Follow Your
Neighbor), the centers anticipate the Spread action by sliding apart
sideways to become the new ends, while the original ends anticipate the
Spread action by moving into the nearest center position.
(3) If the (Anything) call finishes in tandem couples (e.g., Wheel &
Deal from a line of four), the lead dancers slide apart sideways, while
the trailing dancers step forward between them. |

Spin Chain the Gears |
People

8 dancers |
START |
parallel waves |
END |
parallel waves |
Movement |
Each end and the
adjacent center dancer turn one-half (180). The new centers of each
ocean wave turn three-quarters (270) to form a new ocean wave across the
set, as the other four dancers do a U Turn Back (turning in toward the
center). The centers of the wave Trade and then release hands with each
other. Four dancers on each side of the square now form a four-hand star
and turn the star three-quarters, forming a new wave across the set.
Centers of this wave Trade momentarily reforming the wave across the
set. The two outside pairs of dancers of the center wave now turn
three-quarters (270) as the other four dancers turn back (turning away
from the center). |
