CALLERLAB Program: Advanced 1
Transfer the Column
Links: Define – Analyze – Module
Teaching Suggestions:
Transfer the Column
A) If you start from GGBB or BBGG Columns it is easier to cue and easier for the dancers to see the two different actions.
B) Note that the back two dancers only Circulate one spot to make the Box.
C) The hand used in the Turn determines the handedness of the Wave.
Quick quote: “Front two wide Circulate and Face In, Back two step forward into Box and Turn 3/4, all Extend”
