Links: Analyze – Module – Teach
Teaching Order: After Quarter In and Quarter Out
Recently taught calls: Six-Two Acey Deucey, Clover and (Anything), Turn and Deal from Ocean Waves,
Background: “Cross Over Circulate” was created in 1968 by Holman Hudspeth from Detroit, Michigan. It is in the CALLERLAB Advanced List for 1977 and it is listed as A-1 about 1980.
Definition
Starting formations: From General Lines only
Dance action: Each dancer moves forward one spot along the circulate path shown below: A Lead End Circulates to the far Center spot in the same line; a Lead Center Circulates to the far End spot in the same line; a Trailing End Circulates to the near Center spot in the other line, and a Trailing Center Circulates to the near End spot in the other line. If two dancers are about to collide and they are facing the same direction, the Belle goes in front of the Beau; if they are facing each other, they pass right shoulders.
Ending formations: Parallel Two-Faced Lines end in Parallel Two-Faced Lines of the same handedness as at the start. Ocean Waves change handedness.
Timing: 6
For Teaching: You can describe this as: Leads Cross Run as trailers (do their part of) Couples Circulate and Half Sashay as they go. However, it is far more effective to re-introduce the idea of circulate paths (already used at Basic), and use it to describe the call.
