Grand Working direction anything is a precise way to state how to do the Grand version of a 4-dancer call. In the past, the Grand version of each call often had to be memorized, since there were slight differences that no single rule would cover. EN: 10
Grand Working direction anything je přesný způsob vyjádření jak má fungovat Grand verze figury, která je normálně pro čtyři lidi. V minulosti to bylo tak, že se tanečníci museli Grand verze různých figur naučit nazpaměť, protože neexistovalo jednotné pravidlo. CZ: 10

In order to define Grand Working, we must first define what we mean by a pair. A pair is a set of 2 dancers such that: EN: 20
Abychom mohli definovat Grand Working, musíme nejprve zadefinovat pojem pair (dvojice). Dvojice jsou dva tanečníci, pro které plati: CZ: 20
  1. The 2 dancers within the pair are physically adjacent. EN: 30
    Dva tanečníci ve Dvojici jsou fyzicky vedle sebe. CZ: 30

  2. Each dancer is a member of only one pair. EN: 40
    Každý tanečník je členem právě jedné dvojice. CZ: 40

  3. Pairs are constructed along the long axis of the formation. To obtain the pairs within a formation you need to draw imaginary lines perpendicular to the long axis of the formation, dividing the formation into sets of 2 dancers. EN: 50
    Dvojice se nacházejí podél dlouhé osy formace. Pro získání dvojic je potřeba představit si sěrii lajn kolmých na dlouhou osu, které rozdělují tanečníky po dvou. CZ: 50

Perhaps another way of looking at a pair is that if the caller were to call a 2-dancer call (such as Partner Tag or Right Roll To A Wave) the paired dancers would (usually) be working with each other. EN: 60
Jiný způsob, jak se dívat na dvojici je ten, že kdyby caller řekl nějakou figuru pro dva tanenčíky (např. Partner Tag nebo Right Roll To A Wav), tanečníci ve dvojici by (ve většině případů) pracovali spolu. CZ: 60

Examples of pairs: EN: 70
Příklady dvojic: CZ: 70

 
 
 
 
But be careful: the following diagram does not show pairs as
defined for this purpose, since the grouping violates above rule #3:
 EN: 80
Pozor: následující diagram neukazuje dvojice tak,
jak jsou výše definované, protože nesplňují třetí pravidlo uvedené výše:
 CZ: 80

 

With this understanding of a pair in mind, we now look at Grand Working. For Grand Working, each dancer within the overall formation selects a 4-spot sub-formation in which to work. This 4-spot sub-formation consists of the 2 spots in the dancer's pair and the 2 spots in an adjacent pair, which is determined by the given direction. EN: 90

Each dancer who is in an Outside pair works within the 2 spots in their pair and the 2 spots in the adjacent Center pair. EN: 100

Each dancer who is in a Center pair works within the 4-spot sub-formation that includes the 2 spots in their pair, and the 2 spots occupied by the nearest pair of dancers that exist toward the given direction. Each of these dancers must individually determine in which 4-spot sub-formation they are to work. The determination is done relative to their own facing direction or to their own position within the overall formation. EN: 110

When the overall formation is a 1 x {n}, the sub-formations consist of 1 x 4s; when the overall formation is a 2 x {n}, the sub-formations consist of 2 x 2s. EN: 120

The given direction can be any of the following: EN: 130

  • Right, Left, Forward, or eller nebo Backward:

  • As identifier, where identifier is Centers, Ends, Beaus, Belles, Leaders, or Trailers: EN: 150

    • Each dancer who is in a Center pair works with the spots in their pair and the spots in an adjacent pair such that they are a Center, an End, a Beau, a Belle, a Leader, or a Trailer, respectively, of the 4-spot sub-formation. EN: 160

  • Together or eller nebo Apart:

  • Clockwise or eller nebo Counter Clockwise:

    • Clockwise and Counter Clockwise are primarily applicable only from a 2 x{n}. EN: 200

    • To determine with which pair to work, imagine each Outside pair as a single dancer, and draw a single imaginary ellipse that goes through each of the dancers in the Center pairs and also through the Outside pairs (e.g., similar to the Circulate path from Columns). Each dancer who is in a Center pair works with the adjacent pair that is Clockwise or Counter Clockwise to them on that imaginary ellipse. EN: 210

    • In our opinion, Clockwise and Counter Clockwise are rather difficult aspects of Grand Working and should not be used at C3B. EN: 220

Notes: Kommentarer: Poznámky:
  • Dancers in the Outside pairs only have one sub-formation in which they can work: they must work with the spots in their pair and the spots occupied by the adjacent pair. EN: 230
  • Identify the spots that you are working with, not the dancers. Some of the dancers occupying your spots may be working within a different set of spots. EN: 240
  • After identifying the four spots, do the call as if you were working with those 3 dancers. Do not re-evaluate who you are working with during the call. EN: 250
  • In most cases, there are several ways to specify the same Grand Working call. For example, from a R-H Tidal Wave, Grand Working Right is the same as Grand Working As Ends. From Columns, Grand Working Forward is the same as Grand Working As Trailers. It is up to the caller's discretion to use an appropriate name. EN: 260

    I use the following convention: EN: 270

Grand Working (from a från en Z 1 x 8):

From a 1 x 8 formation,
there are three 4-dancer sub-formations
consisting of adjacent pairs: EN: 300
 
   
sub-formation # 1 EN: 310
 
sub-formation # 2 EN: 320
 
sub-formation # 3 EN: 330

Grand Working As Centers (Together):

Grand Working As Ends (Apart):

Grand Working As Centers | Ends (from a från en Z 1 x 8):

 
This is the starting formation
