Call | Definition | Taminations | NSS |
---|---|---|---|
Flutterwheel / Reverse Flutterwheel | Typical starting formation - facing dancers The right-side dancers leave their current partner and Right Arm Turn with each other a full turn, each ending where they started. Halfway through this motion, they take a couple handhold with the other dancer (i.e., the one they were originally facing directly), and the second half of the Arm Turn is completed with each new couple working as a unit.For Reverse Flutterwheel, use the same dance action, except that the left-side dancers Left Arm Turn. | Taminations | NorthShoreSquares |
Sweep a Quarter | Typical starting formation - facing couplesSweep a Quarter may be called after a call that ended with all dancers moving in the same direction around the center of their box. Couples continue circling 1/4 in the same direction they were previously moving. Ends in facing couples. | Taminations | NorthShoreSquares |
Walk Around The Corner | Typical starting formation - squared setDancers face their corners and walk in a circle around their corners, with their right shoulders into the center of the circle. | Taminations | NorthShoreSquares |
See Saw | Typical starting formation - dancers facing their partnersDancers face their partners if necessary and walk around their partners passing left shoulders until they are facing their corners. | Taminations | NorthShoreSquares |
Separate | Typical starting formation - pair of dancers facing out of the squareCase 1: The active or designated couple is on Squared Set spots; The dancers turn back-to-back and start walking forward in opposite directions around the outside of the square away from each other until they meet another dancer. The call ends here unless further instructions are given (for example, "and come back home").Case 2: The active or designated couple is in the center facing out of the square (for example, after Heads Slide Thru, Square Thru 2); The couple steps forward and then performs the Separate action described above. | Taminations | NorthShoreSquares |
Separate Around 1 or 2 and Come into the Middle | Typical starting formation - after separate or split twoActive dancers walk around the outside past the specified number of inactive dancers, and walk forward between the outsides to end as couples in the center. If necessary, inactive dancers slide apart to let active dancers through and slide back together. | Taminations | NorthShoreSquares |
Separate Around 1 or 2 to a Line | Typical starting formation - after separate or split twoActive dancers walk around the outside past the specified number of inactive dancers, and step up next to or between inactive dancers to make a line while inactive dancers, if necessary, spread apart to make room. Ends in facing lines. | Taminations | NorthShoreSquares |
Split Two | Typical starting formation - eight chainThe outsides slide apart without changing facing direction, the centers walk between the outsides and past them, and the dancers who slid apart slide back together without changing facing direction. | Taminations | NorthShoreSquares |
