Coordinate [Plus]
   (Lee Kopman 1974)
Plus:     

Language:
  
  
  
  
   edit def

From Columns or other applicable formations. EN: 10

  1. Circulate;
  2. 1/2 Circulate;
  3. Center 6 Trade;
  4. Very Centers Veer Out as Very Outsides do your part Fan The Top. EN: 20

Columns end in Parallel Two-Faced Lines. EN: 30

Noter:
  • Coordinate is a difficult call to do all-position. Hence, at Plus, Coordinate is usually only called from R-H Columns where the Boys are #2 and #4 and the Girls are #1 and #3. EN: 40
  • The final action for the Very Centers is a Veer Out, which means to move forward and outward without changing your facing direction. Hence, if Coordinate is called from a starting formation such as Facing Lines, the ending formation is a T-BoneEN: 50
  • The final 'move up' action for the Very Centers and the Very Outsides can also be described as a Phantom Hourglass Circulate. EN: 60

Hints:
  • Teamwork is often required to successfully complete this call. EN: 70
  • From Columns, the #4 dancers (Trailing Ends) are the key to executing the call. Before moving, these dancers should make eye-contact with each other. After the Circulate 1 & 1/2, these two dancers meet in the center of the set. They should then hold their position for a moment to allow the other dancers to get oriented before the Center 6 Trade. EN: 80
  • Circulate 1 & 1/2 means to move forward 1 & 1/2 positions within the original formation. Count spots on the floor. Do not count how many dancers you pass. EN: 90

Note on the final part: the Very Centers veer away from each other without turning. This results in the T-Bone ending formation shown above. EN: 110
