Right (Left) Roll to a Wave
Links: Define – Analyze – Module
Teaching Suggestions:
Right (Left) Roll to a Wave:
A) The action of the leaders is intended to be achieved in one smooth motion, which means that the leaders can Roll.
B) Note that there are three possible starting formations. There might be two leaders, one leader and one trailer, or two trailers.
C) When the dancers are in a Tandem, some callers say “Leaders Right Roll to a Wave”. This can be misleading because usually the intention is for all dancers to be active. Furthermore, this terminology can be ambiguous from some formations such as Parallel Inverted Lines.
