EA Calls for October 19

Tom Manning called.

  1. Called Spin Chain and Exchange the Gears from a Tidal Wave: sequence diagram.
  2. Flutterwheel from sashayed lines. Boys have to bring a girl back.
  3. Here is the CallerLab definition of Centers In
    Starting formation
    Completed Double Pass Thru, Eight Chain Thru. More generally, a Couple with their backs to the center of the set, each center dancer directly looking at an outside dancer.

    Dance action
    Without changing facing direction, the outside dancers step away from each other to make room for the center dancers, who step forward to end between them.
    Note that a single Couple has to have their backs to the center of the set. It does not say if that couple is an end or not. So Tom took advantage of this ambiguity and called Centers In with mini-wave ends and centers facing out: sequence diagram

    Another remarkable thing about this tip segment is the various formations that the dancers pass through. Some don't have names. Also each Cast Off 3/4 was unusual. In the first one half the dancers were couples and half mini-waves. In the other, all dancers were mini-waves but half had right hands joined and the other half had left hands joined.

    Here is the segment showing the formations that the dancers are in after each call.

  5. Called Follow Your Neighbor from a 1/4 tag formation. All dancers did the trailer's part and Cast Off 3/4 to right-hand waves. This was followed immediately by another Follow Your Neighbor
  6. Called Wheel and Deal from a tidal line. Note that if the two lines stepped forward this would be the familiar lines facing out formation where Wheel and Deal is usually called from. This results in two-faced lines. Called Wheel and Deal again on the two-faced lines to get an eight chain thru formation.
  7. Called the Advanced call Single Wheel without naming it.
  8. Called Tag the Line from a tidal line
  9. Had t-boned couples Circulate: sequence diagram.
