Teaching Tips:

Zoom
A.) Funny name, easy action to remember, yet leaders forget because it is done behind them.
B.) Prep the dancers with “leaders and trailers” rules.
C.) Leaders separate, turning all the way around to stand behind the trailers.
D.) Action ends with no wall change; in other words, ends facing the same wall as started.

More teaching suggestions:
— Zoom is a quick way to change leaders.

Quick quote: “Leaders turn out and go behind one, Trailers ahead”
