The feel/facing may be different, but these usages appear to pretty much align with classic circle to zig/zag patterns as well? [snip] On Mon, Mar 11, 2019 at 10:58 AM Luke Donforth via Callers < callers@lists.sharedweight.net> wrote: > Alan, I agree that dolphin poussette is an apt description

Alan, I agree that dolphin poussette is an apt description for what's going on; and concur that it probably wouldn't help all the dancers (and less so in Contra than in English, I think). The star bursts as envisioned below definitely have a dolphin hey poussette feel, with the two couples

Just getting to my email now. I have an ECD with a similar move - star into couples chase out, swap leads, come back in; in my dance, they go around each other, so it's clearly a poussette variation. I tried calling it "dolphin poussette" but that really doesn't speak to people; another

Well if you have ecd folks on the floor... bottoms star right once around and ease out and pause! Gents will continue up the outside of the set one place as the ladies cast up one place, AND the 1s lead down all the way to the bottom. Go! Sent from my iPhone > On Mar 8, 2019, at 3:49 PM,

Thank you all, for your thoughts and discussion, and I do like the name star burst. As I'd envisioned it, the path on the floor is very much like a poussette, but the dancers wouldn't be holding hands. It's almost like the tandem turn in a dolphin hey; but with motion up and down the hall. I

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,

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

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;

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
