EA Calls for Feb 2, 2017

Here are some of the moves that Jerry covered on Feb 2

6:30-7:30 class

1. Do Paso that broke most squares. Never called again
2. Track 2 with mixed genders on the inside and outside tracks
3. Track n for n = 0, 1, 2, 3, 4
4. Square thru, on 3rd hand touch a quarter
5. Zoom and spread (old German call :-))
6. Pass corner, star thru, all reverse flutterwheel
7. Pass corner, star thru, all flutterwheel
8. From static square, everybody veer right, step forward to a thar
9. In static square, boys run right
10. Wheel and deal from tidal line
11. The start formation shown in #10 was created by the following calls starting from two-faced lines
    1. couples hinge forming a two-faced tidal line
    2. center couples trade
    3. center couples reverse wheel around

    Jerry noted that the end couples can start their wheel and deal before the center couples complete their wheel around

12. After a diagonal pass through you need to adjust to be parallel to walls
13. Boys track 2, girls circulate

14. From lines, 1/2 trade twice is not equivalent to a trade. To see this, click here and drag the thumb halfway (be sure to show dancer numbers by clicking the #8 button). The result is two waves. Finishing the original trade would result in dancers 2 and 1 facing up. However, doing a 1/2 trade from the wave would result in 2 facing up and 1 facing down.

    Similarly, split circulate 1 1/2 times twice is not equal to split circulate 3 times.

7:30-9:00

1. Diamond circulate from three different kinds of diamonds
   1. right hand diamonds
   2. facing diamonds right-hand centers (points have to pass right shoulders)
   3. point to point diamonds (adjacent points (6, 2) from the two diamonds hold hands)
2. Cut the diamond from three different kinds of diamonds
   1. right hand diamonds
   2. facing diamonds
   3. point to point diamonds (adjacent points (6, 2) from the two diamonds hold hands)
3. flip the diamond from three different kinds of diamonds
   1. right hand diamonds
   2. facing diamonds
   3. point to point diamonds (adjacent points (6, 2) from the two diamonds hold hands)
4. Notes: the women got a lot more practice doing the cuts and flips. In the point-to-point diamonds formation, Jerry had the six dancers in the center trade to place dancers in different diamonds
5. Track 2 (focussing on track 0 and track 2)
6. Follow your neighbor
7. Follow your neighbor and spread
8. pass the ocean twice
9. There was a confusion on which dancers had to do a centers hinge. Look at this formation. Who are the centers? 1, 5, 7, 3 or just 5, 7? It appears to be the former. Would "very center" be used to refer to just 5 and 7?
