CALLERLAB Program: Advanced 1
Step and Slide
Links: Define – Analyze – Module
Teaching Suggestions:
Step and Slide
A) Begin with Lines Facing Out and Inverted Lines.
B) Next use Inverted Lines or Three and One Lines with Centers facing in the same direction.
C) Forward or Backward movement of the original Ends should only occur if Square Breathing is necessary to avoid collision with the other group of four dancers.
D) When Step and Slide produces End-to-End Z formations, they should not overlap.
Quick quote: “Centers Step Forward, Ends Slide Sideways”
