I wonder if this might be considered the second half of Tag the Line (Half Tag is a common term, but it's the first half that square dancers use). Modern western square dance callers may think differently. --Jerome Jerome Grisanti 660-528-0858 http://www.jeromegrisanti.com "Whatever you do,

Re: [Callers] How would you teach this? What would you call it?

I would probably get everyone into their final positions first before teaching the move, so's that everyone knows where they'll end up. After that the language would look something like, "Star Right all the way around. With your partner and without hands, slide out and away from the center of the

Re: [Callers] How would you teach this? What would you call it?

whoops - further consideration, i admit I don't know an easy way! seems straightforward though, if you just explain the simple mechanism of going out and then coming back in it doesn't seem complicated. I would make sure to say how far around the star should go, who is in the lead going out and

I like Rory O’More, but Money Musk and Chorus Jig are probably the most often danced (and perhaps most favorite) proper dances. Sent from my iPhone > On Mar 4, 2019, at 6:27 PM, Gregory Frock via Callers > wrote: > > Something new perhaps? I wrote this recently, trying to avoid the

If it isn’t already a defined move it should most definitely be called a “star burst”!! Jacqui Grennan > On Mar 7, 2019, at 1:30 PM, Luke Donforth via Callers > wrote: > > Hi All, > > I'm playing around with choreographing triplets, and I've got a sequence that > I think would flow well;

Here it is. Don’t ask me how the original goes, I don’t have it. I just have this noted as “Nil’s adaptation”. Maybe Nil's mentioned that he adapted it back in 2014 when I first danced it. It is rather circular but both couples do rest 16 beats at different times. High Voltage Gypsy - as

[Callers] How would you teach this? What would you call it?

Hi All, I'm playing around with choreographing triplets, and I've got a sequence that I think would flow well; but I'm not sure how to teach it short of a demo. The idea is that couples 2 & 3 do a star. Out of that star, they move out, up, and back in; leaving space in the middle for couple 1 to

Re: [Callers] Fan Favorite PROPER Contras?

I'll second Indigo Silk. Not familiar with the second one. I wrote one a while ago that does use the ubiquitous 1/2 figure 8. But also borrows from things like David Kaynor's Open Doors Simply Left in Wisconsin by Luke Donforth Contra/Proper/Int A1 --- PROPER (8) Circle Right 3/4 As
