Teaching Tips:
Single Circle to a Wave
A) Use both hands. Boys palms up, Girls palms down (if you’re working with the same sex, all bets are off).
B) Join hands, circle left halfway round, and individually veer left to form a mini-wave.
More teaching suggestions:
— The usual rule for reducing handhold fumbling when same genders are facing is to have all dancers use left palm down and right palm up.
Quick quote: “Two dancers Circle Left Half around and Step to Wave”
