Starting formation -
completed double pass thru, or a single couple(s) on the outside of the
square, facing out. The lead dancers separate and move away from each
other in a three quarter (270) circle. When each lead dancer meets another
lead dancer from the other side of the square, they become partners and
step forward to the center of the square. Each trailing dancer follows the
dancer in front of him and ends directly behind that same dancer. A single
couple facing out does the lead dancer's part as described, but they may
not step all the way into the center at the end of the call. Styling: Arms are held in natural dance position, skirt work optional. It is important to move slightly forward before turning away. When lead dancers meet and become partners, use couple handhold. Trailing dancers should follow footsteps of the lead dancers and not cut the corners. When trailing dancers become partners, use couple handhold. Timing: 6-8 beats from a completed double pass thru. If CLOVERLEAF is called for only four people, the timing is 6 beats. |
 |
Starting formation -
facing dancers. Each dancer steps forward to join right forearms with the
other dancer. They turn by the right one half (180), release armholds and
step forward, ending back to back with each other. Styling: Use normal forearm position. Men's free hand in natural dance position. Ladies' skirt work desirable for free hand. Timing: 4 steps from point of contact. |
 |
Starting formation -
eight chain thru. Facing dancers join right hands and pull by (this
completes an eight chain one). The center facing dancers join left hands
and pull by while the outside dancers do a courtesy turn (this completes
an eight chain two). Repeat these actions in sequence to achieve eight
chain three, eight chain four, etc. Eight chain thru is the same as eight
chain eight. Even numbers (2, 4, 6, 8) end in an eight chain thru
formation. Odd numbers (1, 3, 5, 7) end in a trade by
formation. Styling: Use same styling as in courtesy turn and right and left grand. Emphasis should be placed on the courtesy turn in that portion of the basic so that dancers can maintain an eight chain thru formation and not be allowed to drift into a right and left grand type of movement. Timing: 8 hands - 20 4 hands - 10 |
 |
Starting formation -
eight chain thru, parallel waves. All pass thru. The dancers now on the
outside partner trade. Ends in double pass thru formation. Styling: Same as pass thru and partner trade. Timing: Box, couples facing in, 2 steps; couples facing out, 6 steps. |
 |
Starting formation -
ocean wave. Each end and the adjacent center dancer turn one half (180).
The new center dancers turn three quarters (270) while each outside dancer
moves forward in a quarter circle to meet the same center dancer with whom
he started. Ends in an ocean wave which is at right angles to the original
starting wave. Styling: Use same styling as in swing thru. Dancers who become new ends should have arms in natural dance position and hands ready to assume appropriate position for the next call. Timing: 8 steps from point of contact. |
