"Ocean wave" and "Tidal wave" come from Modern Western Square Dance and therefore contra callers in the States don't like using them. In my experience they would say "wavy line" rather than "ocean wave" and perhaps "long waves" or something similar rather than "tidal waves". Similarly they will say "Pass through to a wave" rather than the simpler MWSD name "Pass the ocean". Colin Hume Email [email protected] Web site http://www.colinhume.com
