The Prefer CONCEPT does not have a clear-cut definition and in most cases is call-dependent. EN: 10

Add Danish

In general, the 'Preferred' dancers do the first part of the call, the given part of the call, or the most obvious or active part of the call. The caller will usually say 'Prefer the anyone: anything' or 'anyone is Preferred: anything.' The caller may also indicate which part of the given call the Preferred dancers are to do. EN: 20

Add Danish

Examples are given below. EN: 25

Add Danish
Checker Board | Box anything:: Preferred dancers do the Trade. EN: 60

Add Danish

Add Danish

Since the Prefer CONCEPT is inherently ambiguous, the caller should be specific as to who is to do what with whom. For instance, in the last two examples above, the caller could have said: EN: 80

Add Danish

Prefer the anyone to do the Trade: all Checker Board | Box anything EN: 90

Add Danish

Prefer the anyone as Leads: all Stack the Line EN: 100
