Calls From Week 11

The definitions of the calls are taken from this web site. . If you have a computer, you may enjoy the animated clear demonstrations of each call, illustrated on this page.

Each week a couple of new calls will be added. Referring to these weekly sheets may help to clarify the calls for you.

Sweep a Quarter: Starting formation, facing couples in a circling movement (right or left). Dancers continue the circling movement one quarter (90｡) in the direction of their body flow.

Extend: Dancers in the wave release hands and step forward to the couple they are facing and join hands in a right hand wave. If the wave is left handed, dancers extend to a left hand wave. Note: Centers in the wave remain centers in the new waves and ends in the wave end as ends in the new waves.

Double Pass Thru: Dancers move forward, passing right shoulders with two other dancers to finish facing away from the center of the set in a completed double pass thru formation.

Slip The Clutch: Dancers in the center of the thar stop and, while retaining the star, release armholds with the dancers beside them. Everyone then moves forward within the circle in which he was traveling while in the thar.
