Choreography for Patter Teaching with Singing Call Options:
Teaching Tips:
Peel Off
A) Like peeling a banana – away and looping back.
B) Identify leaders and trailers – may be easiest to set up one gender as leaders, the other as trailers.
C) All will reverse facing direction.
D) May want to work Half Zoom from completed DPT first (if your dancers can handle that) before introducing this call.
E) Use completed Double Pass Thru formation and possibly Z’s for the first few weeks.
More teaching suggestions:
— Although the only Standard starting formation is a Completed Double Pass Thru, it is easy to see from the module examples that starting from Columns or Zs can also dance smoothly and provide useful choreography. Peel Off is one of the basic building block calls. These other applications should be explored during workshops if any of the dancers desire to eventually learn Advanced.
Quick quote: “Leaders turn away to ends, trailers turn around in center, make a line.”
