 "O" Formation -- [C1]o.php  

An "O" consists of dancers occupying the following spots in a 4 x 4 matrix: EN: 10
Som illustreret nedenfor består en "O" formation af dansere der optager de viste pladser i en 4 x 4 Matrix. DK: 10
From here... EN: 20
Når du er her... DK: 20
imagine you are here. EN: 30
Så forestil dig du er her. DK: 30
An "O" is considered to be Distorted Columns, as if the Centers slid apart from normal Columns. EN: 40
En "O" formation er at betragte som forskudte Columns, som hvis Centers slider væk fra en normal Column. DK: 40

re-establishing "O" footprints EN: 80
re-etablering af "O" footprints DK: 80
For simple calls (such as "O" Circulate, "O" Split Counter Rotate 1/4, etc.) move directly to your ending footprints. For more complex calls, start the call working distorted, blend into a normal setup, complete the call normally, and then have the resulting Centers move away from the Center to re-establish the "O" footprints. EN: 90
For simple kald (som "O" Circulate, "O" Split Counter Rotate 1/4, osv.) så gå direkte til din end-position. For mere komplexe calls, så start kaldet fra "O" positionen, glid ind i det normale setup, færdiggør kaldet normalt, og dem der ender som centers bevæger sig væk fra center for at retablere "O" formationen. DK: 90
If dancers occupy "O" footprints but the caller wishes them to work in distorted Parallel Lines, the term Big Block [C3A] is used. EN: 100
Hvis danserne står på "O" pladser men calleren ønsker at de arbejder i distorted parallel lines, bruges termen "Big Blocks" (C3A) DK: 100
Sometimes the caller wants you to start the call in your "O" but finish in a normal setup. In these cases the caller will add a suffix such as 'To Normal Waves', 'To A Line', 'To Columns', etc. (e.g., "O" Checkmate To Normal Lines). EN: 110
Hvis Calleren ønsker at starte i "O" formation og slutte i normalt setup vil han i disse tilælde tilføje eks. "To Normal Waves", "To A Line", "To Columns", osv.. (f. eks. "O" Checkmate To Normal Lines). DK: 110
An "O" can also be T-Bone in which case you do your part working in your own set of distorted Columns. EN: 120
En "O" formation kan også være en T-Bone og her følger du din part, arbejdende i dit eget sæt af forskudte Columns. DK: 120

 2/3 Recycle -- [C1]23recycle.php  

In Challenge dancing, Recycle from a Wave is a 3-part call. EN: 10
I Challenge er Recycle et 3-part kald. DK: 10
From a Wave: EN: 20
Fra Waves: DK: 20
Centers Fold behind Ends and all adjust to a Mini-Wave Box; EN: 30
Centers laver en Fold og alle justerer til en Mini-Wave Box; DK: 30
& adjust to a Box EN: 40
& juster til en box DK: 40
2/3 Recycle is not danced as if it has 2 disjoint parts (i.e., you do not do a Centers Fold & adjust to a Box before doing the Box Counter Rotate 1/4 since this is somewhat awkward). 2/3 Recycle is danced as if the 2 parts are blended into one movement. EN: 50
2/3 Recycle danses normalt ikke som om der var 2 dele (dvs. Der laves normalt ikke en Centers Fold og Adjust to a Box - efterfulgt af en Box Counter Rotate 1/4 da det føles lidt uhåndterligt). En 2/3 Recycle danses som om de 2 dele smelter sammen i én bevægelse. DK: 50
2/3 Recycle is equivalent to 1/2 Flip The Line, except that nobody can Roll after 1/2 Flip The Line. EN: 60
2/3 Recycle er det samme som 1/2 Flip The Line, bortset fra at ingen kan lave Roll efter 1/2 Flip The Line DK: 60
Cheat for 2/3 Recycle: Hinge and Box Circulate. This cheat, although easier to recite and dance than the correct definition, has the potential to get you into trouble. You will be unable to properly dance a 1/3 Recycle. Also, note that by using this cheat, only half of the dancers can Roll! On a 2/3 Recycle, all dancers can Roll. Roll. EN: 70
En cheat for 2/3 recycle: Hinge and Box cieculate. Selvom denne Cheat gør det langt lettere at danse kaldet korrekt kan den bringe danserne i potentialle vanskeligheder. Du kan ikke danse 1/3 Recycle korrekt. Husk også at når man bruger denne Cheat kan kun halvdelen af danserne lave Roll - og det er vigtigt at understrege at alle dansere kan lave Roll efter 2/3 Recycle DK: 70
& adjust to a Box EN: 80
& Juster til en Box DK: 80
 3 By 2 Acey Deucey -- [C1]3by2aceydeucey.php  

From applicable formations. EN: 10
Fra positioner hvor der er to grupper af 3 dansere der kan lave en Triangle Circulate, og 2 dansere i Centeret der kan lave en Trade.(f. eks. Twin Diamonds eller Hourglass). DK: 10
Outside Triangles Circulate as the Very Centers Trade. EN: 20
Very Center to dansere laver en Trade mens de to Triangles laver Triangle Circulate DK: 20
Note: When 3 By 2 Acey Deucey is done from Twin Diamonds, it can sometimes be awkward for the Trailing Points since they must Triangle Circulate to the other Point of their Diamond. EN: 30
Når 3 By 2 Acey Deucey udføres fra Twin-Diamonds, kan det føles underligt for Trailing Points eftersom de skal lave en Triangle-Circulate til den anden Point-position i deres Diamond DK: 30
 any Tagging call Back (To A Wave) -- [C1]atcback.php  

Do the any Tagging call to the 1/2 Tag position; Scoot Back. Ends in a Mini-Wave Box. EN: 10
Udfør Any Tagging kaldet til en 1/2 Tag position, efterfulgt af en Scoot Back. Ender i en Mini-Wave Box. DK: 10
The following is a list of Tagging calls that could be used at C1 and C2. The part of the call name shown in bold-face type indicates what would be used as the prefix to the word 'Back' (i.e., the italicized part is conventionally omitted). EN: 20
Det følgende er en liste af Tagging Calls der kan blive anvendt på C1 og C2. Den del af Call-navnet der er skrevet med fed skrift indikerer hvad der vil blive brugt som prefix for ordet "Back" (DVS. delen skrevet med itialian typer er normalt udeladt) DK: 20
Historical note: the original definition of Flip Back was Ends Trade & Roll as the Centers Fold & Roll to follow the Ends and (original Centers) meet to Arm Turn 1/2 and Extend to a Mini-Wave Box. EN: 30
Historisk note: Den originale definition på Flip Back var Ends Trade & Roll as the Centers Fold & Roll og følge Ends (De oprindelige Centers) mødes og arm turn 1/2 for at ende i Mini-Wave Box. DK: 30
 anything Chain Thru -- [C1]anythingchainthru.php  

Do the anything call; Very Centers Trade; Center 4 Cast Off 3/4. EN: 10
Udfør Anything callet - herefter Very Centers Trade og Centers Cast-Off 3/4. DK: 10
anything Chain Thru is the same as Finish Diamond Chain Thru EN: 20
anything Chain Thru er det samme som Finish Diamond Chain Thru DK: 20
The Cast Off 3/4 can be either an Arm Turn or a 'Push' Cast. EN: 30
Cast Off 3/4 kan enten være en Arm Turn eller en 'Push' Cast. DK: 30
If the anything call is a Triangle or Diamond Circulate, the word 'Circulate' is conventionally omitted. E.g., EN: 40
Hvis Anything callet er en Triangle- eller Diamond Circulate, vil ordet 'Circulate' normalt være udeladt som f. eks i DK: 40
Some callers use Chain Thru from formations such as Parallel Lines and want all the Centers to Trade; and all to Cast Off 3/4. We believe this is an invalid usage of Chain Thru since it can be ambiguous in several situations. For example, from a Tidal Wave, does the caller want the Very Centers to Trade & then the Center 4 to Cast Off 3/4, or does the caller want each side to do a Centers Trade & all Cast Off 3/4? Also, if Chain Thru is allowed to mean each side Centers Trade followed by all Cast Off 3/4, then from Twin Diamonds a Chain Thru could be interpreted as Centers of each Diamond Trade (since they are Centers of their 4-dancer formation), followed by confusion, since there is no adjacent dancer within their 4-dancer formation with whom to Cast Off 3/4. EN: 50
At C3A there is an additional (unrelated) use of the phrase 'Chain Thru': EN: 60
 anything The Axle -- [C1]theaxle.php  

From any formation in which the anything call ends in a Trade By, Completed Double Pass Thru, or R-H 3/4 Tag. EN: 10
Fra enhver position hvor anything kaldet ender i en Trade By, Completed Double Pass Thru eller en Right Hand 3/4 Tag. DK: 10
Do the anything call; Outsides Cross Cast Back as Centers Complete The Tag (Pass Thru or Step Thru as necessary so that the Centers are back-to-back); all Trade; Centers Trade. EN: 20
Udfør anything kaldet; Centers laver Pass Thru (Hvis de kan) mens Ends laver Cross Cast Back; alle laver Swing og de nye Centers laver en Trade. DK: 20
Ends in Facing Lines. EN: 30
Ender i Facing Lines. DK: 30
Some callers believe that The Axle means do the last 3/4 of Pass The Axle [C1], hence they believe it is inappropriate to call The Axle from a Completed Double Pass Thru (since the Centers can not do the first part of the call). EN: 40
Remember that Cross Cast Back [C1] is a Left-Shoulder Pass. EN: 50
 anything The Windmill -- [C1]thewindmill.php  

From various formations. EN: 10
Fra enhver anvendelig formation. DK: 10
All or Center 4 do the anything call; Centers Cast Off 3/4 as Outsides 1/4 toward the given direction & Circulate twice. Ends in various formations. EN: 20
Center 4 (eller alle hvis kaldet er et 8 personers kald) laver Anything kaldet. Herefter laver Centers Cast Off 3/4 mens Ends vender ansigtet 1/4 i den angivne retning og cirkulerer 2 gange (eller som angivet). DK: 20
The Cast Off 3/4 can be either an Arm Turn or a 'Push' Cast. EN: 30
Cast Off 3/4 kan enten være en Arm Turn eller en "Push" Cast. DK: 30
direction can be In, Out, Right, Left, or Forward (Outsides As You Are). EN: 40
Retningen kan være In, Out, Right, Left, eller Forward (Outsides As You Are). DK: 40
The caller can optionally direct the Ends to Circulate a different number of spots (such as 1 & 1/2). EN: 50
Calleren kan give Ends besked på at cirkulerer gå forskellige antal pladser - eks. 1 og 1/2. DK: 50
 anything To A Wave -- [C1]toawave.php  

Do the anything call, omitting the final Extend or Step Thru. Optionally, the caller could say Hold The Line | Wave to mean the same thing. EN: 10
Fra enhver position der er anvendelig for anything kaldet. Anything kaldet skal indeholde slut-bevægelsen: Step Thru eller Extend. Udfør anything kaldet men lav ikke den sidste Extend eller Step-Thru - bliv i en Ocean Wave. Calleren kan også sige: Hold The Line | Wave da det betyder det samme. DK: 10
Some callers use the phrase To A Line instead of To A Wave if the (designated) dancers are to stop in a Line. For example, from Columns: Checkmate The Column, Last Two To A Line. EN: 20
Nogle Callere bruger udtrykket To A Line istedet for To A Wave hvis de (designated) dansere skal stoppe i en Line. F. eks. fra Columns Checkmate The Column, Last Two To A Line. DK: 20
Here is a partial list of calls (C2 or below) that might be done To A Wave: EN: 30
Nedenfor er en liste over kald som kan blive kaldt To A Wave: DK: 30
(Note that the Outside dancers
are not offset, but have adjusted
so that they are centered) EN: 40
(NB. Outside dansere er ikke
offset, men har justeret til
centeret af deres formation) DK: 40
Some callers use the phrase 'To A Wave' in a strictly "helpful" manner (e.g., from a 1/4 Tag, Extend To A Wave when merely Extend would have sufficed). The phrase 'To A Wave' is also used to tell the dancers to not re-establish a distorted formation (e.g., Stagger Transfer The Column To A Wave). In these cases, the callers are not using the anything To A Wave CONCEPT. EN: 50
The following calls (C2 or below) contain the phrase 'To A Wave' but are not part of this concept: EN: 60
De følgende kald indeholder 'To A Wave' men er ikke del af dette koncept: DK: 60
 Ah So -- [C1]ahso.php  

From any Line of 4. EN: 10
Fra en Wave eller Line. DK: 10
Ends Cross Fold while holding onto adjacent dancers. EN: 20
Hver halvdel af wave/line arbejder som en enhed. Ends laver en Cross Fold og Centers følger med for at holde hver mini-wave eller Couple intakt. Hvis Ends starter outfacing gælder højre-skulder-passerings reglen. DK: 20
A Wave ends in a Mini-Wave Box. EN: 30
En Wave ender i en Mini-Wave Box DK: 30
Although Ah So can be called from any Line of 4, it is almost always called from a Wave. In fact, many callers believe Ah So can only be done from a Wave. EN: 40
Selvom Ah So kan calles fra "Any Line of 4", bliver de næsten altid callet fra en Wave. Faktisk er det mange Callere der tror at Ah So kun kan laves fra en Wave. DK: 40
From a Couple, Ah So is equivalent to Wheel & Deal. From a Mini-Wave, Ah So is equivalent to Single Hinge & Box Counter Rotate 1/4. EN: 50
Fra Couple, er Ah So det same som Wheel & Deal. Fra en Mini-Wave, er Ah So det same som Single Hinge & Box Counter Rotate 1/4. DK: 50
Ah So is a generalization of Wheel & Deal. If both Ends are initially facing the same direction, the rightmost End moves in front of the leftmost End (as they would in a Cycle & Wheel starting from the same setup). EN: 60
Ah So er en generalisering af Wheel & Deal. Hvis begge Ends fra starten har same ansigtsretning, skal "Højre-End" gå ind foran "Venstre-End" - akkurat som I en Cycle & Wheel der starter fra samme position. DK: 60
I've also seen Ah So done from the following T-Bone setup, in which case the Ends imagine holding onto the Centers' tummies. I think most callers would agree that this example stretches the definition of the call a little too far. EN: 70
Ah So er blevet set callet fra den T-Bone position vist på billedet nedenfor. Her skal Ends forestille sig at holde fast I Centers maver eller bæltespænder eller hvad de nu kan få fat i. De fleste Callere vil nok være enige om, at det er at strække definitionen lidt for langt. DK: 70
Questionable usage of Ah So EN: 80
Tvivlsom brug af Ah So DK: 80
 All 8 Recycle -- [C1]all8recycle.php  

From a 1/4 Tag (or Squared Set or Thar). EN: 10
Fra en 1/4 Tag (eller Squared Set eller Thar). DK: 10
Wave dancers Recycle, taking a wider arc than normal, to end as Couples on the outside as the Outside dancers move into the Center & do a Box Recycle to end in the Center Wave. EN: 20
Wave danserne laver en Recycle med en store bue en normalt og ender som Couples på ydersiden, mens Outside danserne går ind mod Centeret og laver en Box Recycle med hinanden og ender i en Center Wave. DK: 20
A 1/4 Tag setup ends in a 1/4 Tag. EN: 30
En 1/4 Tag formation ender i en 1/4 Tag. DK: 30
In the second example shown above (i.e., The starting formation has Centers in a L-H Wave, Outsides in a R-H Mini-Wave or Couple), the original Centers must make a wide loop so as not to collide with the original Outsides. EN: 40
Specielt i det andet eksempel (dvs. Centers i en Left-Hand Wave, Outsides i en Right-Hand Mini-Wave eller Couple), skal de oprindelige Centers være opmærksomme på at lave en stor bue for ikke at kollidere med Outside danserne. DK: 40
If the Outsides start in L-H Mini-Waves, then the resulting Center Wave is a L-H Wave. EN: 50
Hvis de oprindelige Outsides starter i Left-Hand Mini-Waves, vil den resulterende Center-Wave også være en Left-Hand Wave. DK: 50
From a Thar: everyone does the 'Centers' part. Ends in a squared set. EN: 60
Fra en Thar: Alle laver "Centers" part. Ender i et Squared Set. DK: 60
From a squared set: everyone does the 'Outsides' part. Ends in a Thar. EN: 70
Fra et Squared Set: Alle laver "Outsides" part. Ender i en Thar. DK: 70
 Alter The Wave -- [C1]alterthewave.php  

From a Wave or Facing Couples. EN: 10
Fra en Wave eller Facing Couples. DK: 10
Centers Cast Off 3/4 as Ends U-Turn Back; EN: 20
derefter laver Centers Cast-off 3/4 mens Ends laver U-turn back; DK: 20
Counter Rotate the Diamond 1/2; EN: 30
laver Diamond-Counter Rotate 1/2; DK: 30
Ends in a Wave (of opposite handedness). Alter The Wave is a 4-part call. EN: 40
Ender i Wave med modsat håndhold end start-waven. DK: 40
The Diamond Counter Rotate 1/2 is often referred to as Star 1/2. EN: 50
Diamond Counter Rotate 1/2 er ofte reffereret til som Star 1/2. DK: 50
Dancers who Cast Off 3/4 become the Ends of the resulting Wave no matter how far the Diamond is turned. Dancers who U-Turn Back always become the Centers. EN: 60
Dansere der Cast Off 3/4 bliver Ends I den afsluttende Wave uanset hvor langt Diamonden bliver drejet. Dansere der laver U-Turn Back bliver altid Centers. DK: 60
The Diamond Counter Rotate 1/2 is danced by turning the whole Diamond 180 degrees around its center of gravity. Centers retain handholds throughout the Diamond Counter Rotate and the Points should NOT place their hands into the 'Star', but instead should point as they would when identifying Diamonds. This is very important, because if there are 3 or more hands are in the Center, dancers tend to forget who is to flip whom for the Flip The Diamond, especially if the caller modifies the amount to 'turn the Star'. EN: 70
Diamond Counter Rotate 1/2 danses ved at dreje hele Diamonden 180° omkring dens center. Centers beholder håndfatning gennem Diamond Counter Rotate og Pointers skal vedblive at pege for at vise Diamond position. Dette er meget vigtige for hvis der er 3 eller flere hænder I center har danserne en tendens til at glemme hvem der skal flippe I den efterfølgende Flip The Diamond, specielt hvis Calleren modificerer 'Turn the Star'. DK: 70
From a Wave, Ends remain Ends as Centers remain Centers. EN: 80
Fra en Wave, vedbliver Ends med at være Ends og Centers vedbliver med at være Centers. DK: 80
This is the first 1/2 of Alter The Wave. EN: 90
 Beau | Belle -- [A1]beaubelle.php  

From a generalized Couple or other applicable formation. EN: 10
The Beau is the Left-side dancer and the Belle is the Right-side dancer. EN: 20
In the following diagrams, EN: 30
Beaus are denoted by magenta squares EN: 40
Belles are denoted by blue circles EN: 50
The identifiers Beau and Belle are occasionally used from setups in which you have no defined partner. In this case, you are a Beau if your right-hand is toward the Center of your 4-dancer formation, and conversely, you are a Belle if your left-hand is toward the Center of your 4-dancer formation. EN: 60
Beaus and Belles are not the same as Boys and Girls. Beaus and Belles identify positions within formations, whereas Boys and Girls identify dancer roles. When you square up, you are assigned the role of a Boy or a Girl. This role remains in effect for the entire tip. On the other hand, as you dance, your formation and position within that formation constantly changes. Hence, while dancing, you may change whether you're a Beau or Belle, a Leader or Trailer, an End or a Center, etc. EN: 70
At A1 and A2, the usage of Beau | Belle is restricted to a Couple. At C1 and above, Beau | Belle can be used from other formations such as Mini-Waves, T-Bones, etc. EN: 80
If your partner's position is to your Right, then you are a Beau.
If your partner's position is to your Left, then you are a Belle. EN: 90
From a Couple, the Beau is the dancer on the Left, and the Belle is the dancer on the Right. EN: 100
I et Couple er danseren til venster Beau og danseren til højre Belle. DK: 100
From a R-H Mini-Wave, both dancers are Beaus. EN: 110
From a L-H Mini-Wave, both dancers are Belles. EN: 120
Beaus and Belles are important to learn since these terms are used in the definitions of many calls. EN: 130
Identify yourself whenever the caller names you. That is, if the caller says 'Beaus' and you're a Beau, then raise your hand. This lets the other dancers in the square know who is active. Sometimes the caller will say something like 'Beaus (pause) Trade' - the caller paused so that the Beaus can identify themselves (raise your hand!), find the other Beau, and then do the Trade. If you don't identify yourself, the other Beau may have a hard time locating you. EN: 140
Handholds: EN: 150
From a Couple, the Beau holds the R-H palm up and the Belle places the L-H palm down into the Beau's palm. EN: 160
From a One-Faced Line of 3 or more dancers, each dancer should hold their R-H palm up, L-H palm down. This is done so that: EN: 170
There is a consistent handhold protocol for same sex partners
(this is in contrast to handholds at the Mainstream level where Boys typically keep both hands palm up, Girls keep both hands palm down). EN: 180
Using handholds in this manner, it is easier to quickly identify Beaus and Belles when subsets of dancers are activated (e.g., as in Center 4 Beaus Run). EN: 190
Beaus and Belles tend to be infrequently used by callers. Hence, below is a list of possible uses for Beaus and Belles at A1 and A2: EN: 200
Choreographically, Beaus and Belles are primarily used with the following calls: EN: 210
Other applicable calls include: EN: 220
Examples using Beaus and Belles: EN: 230
 Block Formation -- [C1]block.php  

A Block FORMATION consists of two overlapping Boxes of 4. Typically, one of the corners of one Box is positioned at the very center of the other Box, and vice-versa. Dancers in each Box work together in a disconnected setup, independent of the dancers in the other Box. EN: 10
En Block FORMATION består af to overlappende Boxe af 4. Typisk vil én af hjørnerne i den ene Box være i the Very Center af den anden Box, og visa versa. Danserne i hver Box arbejder uafhængigt af danserne i den anden Box. DK: 10
Who works with whom in a Block. EN: 20
Hvem der arbejder med hvem i en Block. DK: 20
Dancers must remain in their own Block. At the end of the given call, each dancer should be on one of the original footprints in their Block. EN: 30
Dansere skal blive i deres egen Box. Ved afslutningen af kaldet skal hver danser være på en af de oprindelige pladser (footprints) i deres egen Box. DK: 30
If you connect all four dancers in one Box by drawing imaginary lines from each dancer to the next adjacent dancer, and then separately draw lines connecting the four dancers in the other Box, a Block FORMATION would look like the familiar interlocking squares that symbolize square dancing. EN: 40
To help identify who is working within your Box of 4, it is customary to point to the two nearest dancers in your Block. Use one arm to point to the dancer beside you in your Box, and the other arm to point to the dancer either in front of or behind you in your Box. It is important not to turn your shoulders to accomplish this, as you might forget which wall you are facing or confuse others as to your facing direction. Therefore, we recommend that you use your closest arm to point to the dancer beside you (i.e., use your R-H if the dancer beside you is to your Right; use your L-H if the dancer is to your Left), and use your other arm to point to the dancer in front of or behind you. If the dancer is behind you, bend your arm at the elbow and tuck your hand behind your back to point, so that you do not twist your shoulders. EN: 50
For at hjælpe med til at identificere hvem der er i din Box er det almindeligt at pege på de 2 nærmeste danser i din Box, så peg på danseren ved siden af dig og danseren der befinder sig enten foran eller bag dig. Undgå at dreje kroppen da det let kan få dig til at miste orienteringen. DK: 50
Within the Block FORMATION there is a diagonal of four dancers which contains two dancers from each Box. This diagonal is used as a landmark for re-establishing the Block FORMATION after completion of a complicated call. The slant of the diagonal never changes; it is always either a North-West to South-East or a South-West to North-East slant. EN: 60
I hele Block FORMATIONen er der en diagonal af 4 dansere (2 fra hver Box). Denne diagonal kan anvendes som pejlemærke når man re-etablerer Block FORMATIONen efter et kompliceret kald. Retningen på denne diagonale linie er altid den samme - enten Nord-Vest til Syd Øst eller Syd-Vest til Nord-Øst. DK: 60
Blocks are alternatively known as Interlocked Blocks or C1 Blocks. EN: 70
Calls done within your Block must require 4 or fewer dancers to do the call, and must start and end in a 2 x 2. Shape changing calls are not allowed. EN: 80
I Blocks kan kun udføres 4-personers kald (eller sekvenser af kald) som starter og ender i 2 x 2 formationer. DK: 80
At C1, the caller often gets the dancers into Blocks from Parallel Waves by saying: 'Leads Press Ahead (& Trade), check Blocks'. Then, after executing a series of calls in Blocks, the caller may get back to normal Lines by saying 'Outsides Press Ahead to make Lines'. This terminology is problematic in that technically there are no Outside 4 dancers in a Block; there are 2 Very Outsides (the Ends of the diagonal) or 6 Outside dancers. A Block is a four-dancer Box, having no Centers and no Ends. Being partially overlapped by another four-dancer Box, Interlocked Blocks gives the illusion of being an eight-dancer formation. In the Blocks shown below, all dancers except EN: 90
På C1 vil Calleren ofte få dansere i Block Formation fra Parallelle Waves ved at sige 'Leads Step Ahead (& Trade), check Blocks'. Efter at have udført en række kald i Blocks, vil Calleren ofte komme tilbage til normale Lines ved at sige 'Outsides Step Ahead to make Lines'. Der er et problem med denne terminology, da der teknisk set ikke er 4 Outside dansere i en Block; der er 2 Very Outsides (Ends i diagonalen) eller 6 Outside dansere. En Block er en 4-danser Box, hvor der hverken er Centers eller Ends. Da Box'en er delvist overlappet af en anden 4-danser Box giver denne formation en illusuíon af at være en 8 danser formation. DK: 90

lave Step Ahead to Lines DK: 150
To determine who should Press Ahead to make Lines, there are two things to know: EN: 160
De 2 regler der gælder for hvem der kan lave 'Step Ahead To Make Lines' er som følger: DK: 160
You must be facing the center of the set. If you are not facing the center of the set, you can not move toward it, therefore you are not active for the Press Ahead. EN: 170
Du skal have ansigtsretning mod Center af formationen. Hvis du ikke kigger på Centeret kan du ikke gå imod det og derfor er du ikke aktiv i denne Step Ahead. DK: 170
You must not cross the center line. If your Press Ahead would put you past the center line, you are not active for the Press Ahead. EN: 180
Du må ikke krydse Center Linien. Hvis en Step Ahead fører dig over Center linien er du ikke aktiv i denne Step Ahead. DK: 180
When doing calls within Blocks, traffic patterns vary. For simple calls that do not require interaction with more than one other dancer at a time, execute each part of the call within the footprints of your individual Block (e.g., Square Thru, Touch 1/4). On more complicated calls (e.g., In Your Block Square Chain Thru), start the execution of the call to the footprints of your individual Block, and when it becomes necessary to interact with more than one dancer at a time, the dancers closest to the center of the set should cross the center line to join the other dancers in their Block to complete the call on each side. Once the call is completed, re-establish the Block footprints by having the appropriate dancers move to re-create the original slant of the diagonal (i.e., NW-SE or SW-NE) and the other dancers move to appropriate Block footprints. Note: Some dancers need not move at all to re-establish footprints (typically, only four or six dancers need to move)! EN: 190
Når man laver kald i Blocks vil trafikmønsteret variere. I simple kald der ikke involverer aktion med mere end én danser af gangen, udføres kaldet per footprints i din individuelle Box. (f. eks. Square Thru, Touch 1/4). I mere komplicerede kald (f. eks. In Your Block Square Chain Thru), starter udførelsen af kaldet per footprints i din individuelle Box, og når det bliver nødvendigt at arbejde med mere end én danser af gangen, skal danserne tættest på Centeret krydse Center linien og arbejde sammen med de andre dansere i deres Box og færdiggøre kaldet på hver side. Når kaldet er færdiggjort re-etableres Block footprints ved at de relevante dansere genskaber diagonal-linien (dvs. NV-SØ eller SV-NØ) og de andre dansere går til de relevante Block footprints. NB: Nogle dansere skal slet ikke justere for at re-etablere Block formationen - typisk skal kun 4 eller 6 dansere justere. DK: 190

Traffic pattern: For simple calls (such as Circulate, Walk & Dodge, etc.) move directly to your ending footprints. For more complex calls, start the call working distorted, blend into a normal setup, complete the call normally, and then have the resulting Ends move away from the Center in order to re-establish the Butterfly footprints. EN: 60

For mere complexe calls, start callet fra Butterfly og glid ind I den normale formation - udfør callet som normalt og til slut skal Ends bevæge sig væk fra Centeret for at retablere Butterfly formationen. DK: 60
Sometimes the caller may wish you to start the call in your Butterfly but finish in a normal setup. In these cases the caller will put a suffix such as 'To Normal Waves', 'To A Line', 'To Columns', etc. (e.g., Butterfly Transfer The Column To Normal Waves). EN: 70
Nogle gange vil Calleren starte Callet fra en Butterfly og ønske det endt I en normal formation. Her vil Calleren tilføje såsom "To normal Waves", "To a Line", "To Columns" osv.. (eks. Butterfly Transfer The Column To Normal Waves). DK: 70
Note: A Butterfly can also be T-Bone in which case you do your part working within your set of distorted Columns. EN: 80

Leaders or those designated, as one movement, Peel Off & Step Ahead to end adjacent to the dancer (or the position) that was immediately behind them. Trailers and non-designated dancers do not move. EN: 20
Leaders eller de udpegede dansere laver (som én bevægelse) Peel Off og går frem og ender ved siden af den anden danser i formationen. De ikke aktive danser bliver stående! DK: 20

Leaders eller de udpegede dansere laver (som én bevægelse) Trail Off og går frem og ender ved siden af den position der er diagonalt modsat i deres Box. De ikke aktive danser bliver stående! DK: 30
Cast Back can also be done by an individual dancer if the caller also specifies a direction. EN: 40
Cast Back kan også udføres af en individuel danser hvis Calleren også specificerer en retning. DK: 40
Cast Back and Cross Cast Back are positional calls in which normal square breathing (expanding and contracting formations as the long and short axes vary) does not apply. The inactive dancers do not move or adjust in any manner. EN: 50
On Cross Cast Back, if active dancers start side-by-side (as a Couple), they pass Left shoulders. Historically, dancers have always passed Left-shoulders since this is a 'Cross' movement; however, CALLERLAB once 'simplified' the shoulder-passing rules, and many dancers were henceforth taught to pass Right shoulders. The current CALLERLAB definition of Trail Off (from Tandem Couples) states that dancers do a Half Sashay (Belle in front of Beau) & Peel Off, hence a Left shoulder pass. Please be careful when dancing Cross Cast Back as you may encounter some dancers who will insist on passing Left shoulders and other dancers who will insist on passing Right shoulders. EN: 60
I en Cross Cast Back, hvor danserne starter side-by-side (som Couple), skal de passere venstre skulder!! - akkurat som i Trail Off. update DK: 60
 Chain Reaction [by definition, C1] -- [C1]chain_reaction_c1.php  

From an applicable generalized 1/4 Tag. EN: 10
Fra en anvendelig general 1/4 tag formation. DK: 10
Very Centers and the directly facing Outside dancers do a Pass Thru as the End of the Center Line Counter Rotate 1/4 (on the Outside); Centers of each side Hinge; Center 4 Star 1/4 as Outsides Trade; Those who meet Cast Off 3/4 as Others move up (Phantom Hourglass Circulate). EN: 20
Very Centers og de direkte facing Outsides laver Pass Thru mens de andre Center dansere laver Counter Rotate 1/4 på ydersiden; Centers på hver side laver Hinge; Center 4 laver Star 1/4 mens Outsides Trade; Dem der mødes laver Cast off 3/4 mens de andre mover op (Phantom Hourglass Circulate). DK: 20
Ends in Parallel Lines|Waves. EN: 30
Those doing the Pass Thru should point at each other before moving. The Outside dancer who is not doing the Pass Thru should not move until one of the original Very Centers has appeared by his/her side. Should you prematurely turn in anticipation of the Hinge you will likely throw yourself (as well as other dancers) out of position. EN: 40
Dem der laver Pass Thru bør pege på hinanden før de går. Den Outside danser som ikke skal lave Pass Thru må ikke røre sig før den oprindelige Very Center danser står ved siden af. DK: 40
Be careful and dance each part of Chain Reaction very precisely since the Hinge could be from a Mini-Wave or from a Couple; the Outsides Trade could be from a Mini-Wave or a Couple; the Star could be normal or facing; and the final Cast Off 3/4 could be an Arm Turn or a 'Push' Cast. Don't rush the execution of this call since teamwork is required for successful completion. EN: 50
Vær omhyggelig og dans hver part af Chain Reaction præcist eftersom Hinge kan være fra en Mini-Wave eller fra Couple; Outsides Trade kan være fra en Mini-Wave eller Couple; Star kan være normal eller facing; og den afsluttende Cast Off 3/4 kan være Arm Turn eller 'Push' Cast.

In the past, some callers believed that the default fractions were 1/4 and 1/4 and would simply call 'Circle By' without any fractions expecting the dancers to do a Circle By 1/4 By 1/4. This usage is considered inappropriate today. EN: 50
 Concentric Concept -- [C1]concentric.php  

From 8-dancer formations consisting of 4 inside dancers and 4 outside dancers. EN: 10
Fra 8-danser formationer der består af 4 Inside dansere og 4 Outside dansere. DK: 10
The inside 4 dancers do the given call working within the Center of the set as the outside 4 dancers do the given call working with each other, around the outside of the set. EN: 20
Inside danserne udfører kaldet i Centeret og Outside 4 dansere arbejder med hinanden på ydersiden af formationen. DK: 20
A good way to think about Concentric is to imagine dropping a stone in a pool of still water and watching the concentric rings rippling outward from the center where the stone dropped. If you overlay that image in your mind on top of the square, the Center 4 dancers would be working within the innermost ring, and the Outside 4 dancers would be working between the innermost ring and the next outside ring. Each group of 4 works independently of the other group of 4, maintaining their respective relationship from the other group and the very center of the set. EN: 30
The inside 4 dancers always do the call normally working in the Center. EN: 40
Inside 4 dansere udfører altid kaldet normalt i Centeret. DK: 40
The ending positions for the outside 4 dancers depends upon the kind of formation (explained below). EN: 50
Slutpositionen for Outside 4 dansere er afhængig af formationen (forklares nedenfor). DK: 50
If the given call ends in a 1x4, a Diamond, or a Single 1/4 Tag, then there is only one possible ending formation: a 1x4 is split in half, and distributed as two 1x2 formations on opposite sides of the inside dancers; a Diamond or Single 1/4 Tag is split into 4 pieces, and distributed like the points of a Galaxy. EN: 60
Se ovenstående figurer (de farveløse figurer illustrerer Center 4 dansere): Hvis kaldet ender i en 1x4, en Diamond, eller en Single 1/4 Tag, er de eneste mulige slutpositioner som følger: En 1 x 4 bliver delt på midten med to 1 x 2 formationer på hver side af Inside Dansere. En Diamond eller en Single 1/4 Tag bliver delt i 4 dele og fordelt som Points i en Galaxy. DK: 60
The above formations show the ending positions for the outside dancers when the given call ends in a 1x4 or a Diamond. The dashed boxes represent the Center 4 dancers who could be in a 2x2 (as shown), a 1x4 (horizontal or vertical), or any other 4-dancer formation. EN: 70
For the outside 4 dancers, if the given call starts and ends in a 2x2 then the following rules apply: EN: 80
For Outside 4 dansere: Hvis kaldet starter og ender i en 2x2 gælder følgende regler: DK: 80
If the outside 4 started as if they were Ends of Parallel Lines, then they must finish so that they are Ends of Parallel Lines. EN: 90
Hvis Outside 4 starter som var de Ends i Parallelle Lines, skal de også slutte som var de Ends i Parallelle Lines. DK: 90
Similarly, if the outside 4 started as if they were Ends of Columns, then they must finish so that they are Ends of Columns. EN: 100
Hvis Outside 4 starter som var de Ends i Columns, skal de også slutte som var de Ends i Columns. DK: 100
The two rules above are known as the 'Lines-to-Lines, Columns-to-Columns' rule. That is, if you start in Parallel Lines, you must end in Parallel Lines; if you start in Columns, you must end in Columns. Note that the final formation may not actually be Lines or Columns, since the Centers may end T-Boned to the Ends. EN: 110

For Outside 4 dansere: Hvis kaldet ikke starter i en 2 x 2 men ender i en 2 x 2 gælder følgende regler: DK: 140
The Outside 4 must end in the positions so that the long axis of the setup changes by 90°. EN: 150
Many formations in square dancing have a long axis and a short axis. That is, the formation is visibly longer in one direction (long axis) than the other direction (short axis). When dancing the Concentric Concept, if the outside 4 do not start in a 2x2, but end in a 2x2, then they must end on the footprints which change the original long axis of the formation by 90°. EN: 160
Outside 4 skal slutte i en position så den lange akse af formationen ændrer sig med 90°. Mange formationer i square Dancing har en lang og en kort akse - dvs. formationen er længere på én led end den anden. Når man danser Concentric Conceptet, og hvis Outsides ikke starter i 2 x 2 men ender i 2 x 2, så skal de slutte på footprints som vil ændre den lange akse med 90°C. DK: 160

 Counter Rotate fraction -- [C1]counterrotate.php  

From applicable formations. EN: 10

Walk forward in an arc, for a total of fraction of a circle, around the flagpole center of the set, keeping the same distance from the center of the set. EN: 20
Hver danser bevæger sig fremad det angivne antal kvarte (1/4 hvis ikke andet er angivet) omkring Flagkole center af formationen idet man holder samme afstand fra dette center som om man er et hjul der drejer om center. Ved hver 1/4 man udfører Counter Rotate kigger man på en ny væg (dvs. man drejer 90°). DK: 20
Counter Rotate cannot be done if a dancer is facing directly toward (or away from) the flagpole center of the set. EN: 30
If no fraction is given, assume 1/4. EN: 40
When starting from a symmetric setup, and everyone is active, the ending formation for Counter Rotate 1/4 is the same as the starting formation but rotated by 90°. EN: 50
Når man starter fra en symmetrisk formation og alle er active, vil slutformationen for Counter Rotate 1/4 være den same som startformationen men roteret 90°. DK: 50
You may have to vary the distance from the center of the set to allow for square breathing if not everyone is active for the Counter Rotate. EN: 60
Det kan forekomme at man skal variere afstanden fra centeret for at tillade Square-breathing (Udvidelse eller sammentrækning) hvis ikke alle er aktive i Counter-Rotate-Callet. DK: 60
You can try visualizing Counter Rotate 1/4 as if all of a sudden the formation was placed upon an empty merry-go-round, with the center of the square being the center of the merry-go-round, and somebody pushed the merry-go-round 1/4 of a circle (clockwise or counter-clockwise, whichever would cause you to move forward). Your formation would remain the same, you would still be the same distance from the Center, but your facing direction would have changed 90°. Note that some dancers might be on a merry-go-round which is turning in the opposite direction from yours. EN: 70
Prøv at forestille dig Counter Rotate 1/4 som om formationen er placeret på en karusel med centeret af formationen placeret på centeret af karusellen og nogen skubber karusellen 1/4 omgang (med eller mod uret - i hvilken som helst retning der får dig til at bevæge dig fremad). Din formation er den samme, du vil stadigvæk have samme afstand fra Centeret men din ansigtsretning vil have skiftet 90°. Bemærk at nogle dansere måske skal gå modsat din retning. DK: 70

Historically, the right hand was used for the Pull By during a Reverse Cross & Turn. However, many callers/dancers felt that this was wrong, since Reverse often means to do the Mirror Image of the call. Until recently (May 1996), the CALLERLAB definitions stated that dancers use the right hand. The current CALLERLAB definitions say to use the Left-hand. EN: 50
Dancers doing the diagonal Pull By often yell 'Bang!', pulling an imaginary gun from an imaginary holster, shooting the other diagonal dancer (as if in an Old West duel). This often results in many dancers dispensing with the Pull By altogether and simply doing a Jaywalk; they are too busy 'gunning each other down', their hands are occupied and they neglect to use them. EN: 60

Some callers call Cross By from a 1/4 Tag and want a Cross Extend [C1]. This usage of Cross By isn't correct since 1/2 Circulate isn't defined from a 1/4 Tag. EN: 70
According to the CALLERLAB definition: from Parallel Waves Cross By does not end in a Thar but in a "wave between vertical mini-waves." This implies that there is a definite resulting Center Wave. We have never seen any caller try to exploit this aspect. We believe Cross By from Parallel Waves always ends in a Thar. EN: 80
Ifølge CALLERLAB definitionen ender callet fra Parallelle Waves I en Center Wave med 2 vertikale Mini-Waves - og IKKE I en Thar - dette medfører at der identificeres en Center-Wave. Det er ikke set at en Caller udforsker denne problematik - men hvem ved! DK: 80

The L-H Star 1/2 can be danced as 1/4 Right and Box Circulate twice. If the caller says Star 3/4, then do another Box Circulate. Thinking of the call in this manner makes it easier to dance the call Phantom, especially if the caller modifies the amount to turn the Star. EN: 30
Left hand Star 1/2 kan danses som "1/4 Right and Box Circulate twice". Hvis Calleren siger Star 3/4 så laver man en extra Box Circulate. Hvis man tænker således på callet vil det være nemmere at danse med fantomer - især hvis Calleren ændrer antallet af stjerne-rotationer. DK: 30

 Galaxy Formation | Circulate -- [C1]galaxy.php  

A Galaxy FORMATION consists of a Box inside of a Diamond. This is the opposite of an Hourglass FORMATION which consists of a Diamond inside of a Box. EN: 10
En Galaxy FORMATION består af en Center-Box og en udvendig Diamond. Dette er det modsatte af en Hourglass FORMATION der består af en udvendig Box og en indvendig Diamond. DK: 10
From a Galaxy. The Circulate path of a Galaxy consists of 8 spots. Move up to the next position in the Galaxy (Box dancers move forward into the next outside Diamond position, as Diamond dancers move forward into the next Center position). Your new facing direction is determined by the dancer currently occupying the spot to which you will move. You must either face the same direction as that dancer (i.e., you are following his or her back), or 180° in the opposite direction (facing Galaxy Circulate). This means that sometimes your facing direction will change 90° and sometimes your facing direction will not change at all. From a normal R-H or L-H Galaxy, the traffic pattern of Galaxy Circulate results in all dancers moving in either a clockwise or counter-clockwise direction, respectively. If no dancers come to the same spot, then Galaxy Circulate ends in a Galaxy. EN: 20
Fra Galaxy Formation: Cirkulationsmønsteret i en Galaxy består af 8 punkter. Man cirkulerer til næste position i Galaxy'en som vist nedenfor (Box-dansere cirkulerer fremad til den udvendige Diamond-position , og Diamond-danseren cirkulerer fremad til den næste Center-Box position) Din nye ansigtsretning er bestemt af danseren der står på den plads du cirkulerer til. Du skal enten have samme ansigtsretning som denne danser (gå efter ryggen), eller modsat ansigtsretning (ved Facing Galaxy Circulate). Det betyder at nogle gange vil din ansigtsretning skifte 90°C og andre gange ikke skifte overhovedet. Fra en Right Hand eller Left Hand Galaxy formation vil traffik mønsteret enten være med eller mod uret. Hvis ingen dansere optager den samme plads, ender Galaxy Circulate i en ny Galaxy DK: 20

On Scoot & Little, Outsides go toward the handhold used during the Scoot Back (the "hot-hand"). On Scoot Back & Little, Outsides always go to the Right. The former is one call whose definition says the handedness of the Scoot Back determines the direction which the Outsides take. The latter is two calls stuck back-to-back: Scoot Back and Little. The definition of Little has the Outsides always going to the Right, no matter what precedes it. EN: 40
On Little, everyone except the original Very Centers can Roll. EN: 50
The caller can optionally give a direction (In, Out, Right, Left) for the Outsides, in which case the Outsides 1/4 toward the given direction & Counter Rotate 1/4 (e.g., Left Little, Out Little). EN: 60
According to the CALLERLAB definitions, Little [C1], Little More [C2], and Plenty [C1] can also be called from Twin Diamonds in which case the outsides omit the 1/4 Right. This usage seems to be dropping out of favor since nowadays there are several callers who always want the outsides to 1/4 Right. We believe that dancers should have a single consistent definition to follow, hence we believe the outsides should always 1/4 Right. When callers wish to use one of these calls from Diamonds omitting the 1/4 Right, they should say 'Outsides go As You Are: all Little | Little More | Plenty'. EN: 70
 Magic Column Concept -- [C1]magiccolumn.php  

A Magic Column typically consists of Parallel Columns in which the Center dancers are holding the opposite hands from the Outside dancers (i.e., the Outsides are holding R-H as the Centers are holding L-H, or vice-versa). EN: 10
En Magic Column består typisk af Parallelle Columns hvor Center danserne holder modsatte hånd end End danserne - se nedenstående eksempler. DK: 10
From applicable Generalized Columns. In-Facing Ends and Out-Facing Centers Crossover Circulate as Others Circulate. An alternative way of thinking of this is that you do a Crossover Circulate if and only if your next Circulate would take you from an End to a Center or vice-versa. Otherwise do a normal Circulate. From normal Magic Columns, the traffic pattern has the Out-Facing Center dancer moving first (in front of the In-Facing End dancer who must wait). This is important in case the caller calls a Magic Column 1/2 Circulate, since sometimes this will cause you to pass Right-shoulders and sometimes Left-shoulders. EN: 20
Fra Magic Columns: Hver danser bevæger sig fremad i circulations mønsteret der er vist ovenfor. Hvis en End- og en Center-danser er ansigt til ansigt, skal de passere hinanden og her bestemmes passeringsreglen af hvilken skulder End har ind mod center. Er det højre skulder, passeres med højre skulder og visa versa. Center danseren skal gå først. Dette betyder at højrepasserings reglen er ophævet i dette Call. Man kan også sige at In-Facing End-dansere og Out-Facing Center-dansere laver en Cross-Over-Circulate mens de andre laver en Circulate. DK: 20
There are 2 Centers and 4 Ends. On a Magic Column Circulate, the Centers and the In-Facing Ends Crossover Circulate as the Out-Facing Ends Circulate. EN: 30

Note: On Magic Transfer The Column, the Outsides have a strong tendency to want to make a Wave of the wrong-handedness. It is the Centers (those doing the Arm Turn 3/4) who determine the handedness of the resulting Waves. The handedness of the resulting Waves is because of the Extend. EN: 100
Noter: I Magic Transfer The Column, har Outsides en tendens til at ville lave en Wave med forkert håndhold. Som altid er det Centers der bestemmer om det bliver en right- eller left-hand wave, da det afhænger af hvilken hånd de brugte til Cast Off 3/4. DK: 100

In general, the given call is done normal except when moving from an End to a Center, or vice-versa. From an Eight Chain Thru: the traffic pattern used for a Magic Pass Thru is a Cross Trail Thru; the traffic pattern used for a Magic Right (or Left) Pull By (or a variation such as Touch 1/4, Turn Thru, etc...) is to form a Right (or Left) Star (which is usually danced without changing your facing direction). EN: 140

Note: Historically, those doing the Cross Cast Back always passed Left Shoulders. Then a group of callers decided it would be easier if the definition were changed to specify passing Right Shoulders, and began teaching it this way to their dancers. The CALLERLAB definition of Pass The Axle is defined in terms of Cross Cast Back (which is defined in terms of Trail Off, which in turn is defined as a Left shoulder pass from a Couple), hence the shoulder pass should be Left shoulders. The moral of all this is that you should be aware that some dancers may insist on passing Left Shoulders and others may insist on passing Right Shoulders. We prefer passing Left Shoulders, but will yield when faced with a conflict. Please be aware that there is a controversy and try not to collide with anybody. EN: 70

 Phantom Concept -- [C1]phantom.php  

The idea for the Phantom CONCEPT is to overlap two sets of Parallel Columns | Lines | Waves at 90° to each other, filling in the blank spots with "ghost dancers." EN: 10
Ideen med Phantom CONCEPTet er at at overlappe to sæt af parallelle Columns | Lines | Waves med en vinkel på 90° på hinanden, og fylde de tomme felter ud med "spøgelses" dansere. DK: 10
Do the given call working with imaginary dancers (i.e., Phantoms). Assume that the Phantoms are in whatever position, have whatever facing direction, and are of whatever sex is necessary in order to execute the given call. The call is then danced with both the dancers and the Phantoms participating. Keep track of the Phantoms that you are working with and reserve space for them at the completion of the call. EN: 20
Udfør det givne kald men arbejd sammen med de imaginære dansere (Phantoms). Forestil dig at danserne er i hvilken som helst position, ansigtsretning og køn der er nødvendigt for at udføre kaldet. Kaldet udføres både med rigtige dansere og Phantoms, og det er vigtigt at holde styr på de Phantoms du arbejder med, og give plads til dem ved afslutningen af kaldet. DK: 20

The Split Circulate twice is also referred to as Star 1/2. Callers often modify the amount to turn the Star (each 1/4 turn of the Star corresponds to one Split Circulate). EN: 60
Calleren kan modificere antallet af Split Circulates (eks. Plenty, do 3 Split circulates) og kan undertiden referere til disse circulates som Turn The Star (hver 1/4 Turn the Star svarer til 1 Split Circulate.) DK: 60
Callers often Replace the Split Circulates with another call or Interrupt the Split Circulates with other calls. EN: 70
Variationer: Mange Callere erstatter eller afbryder Split Circulates med andre kald. DK: 70
On Scoot & Plenty the Outsides 1/4 to the handhold unless otherwise directed. EN: 80
Med hensyn til retningen for outsides ved Scoot & Plenty, så gælder samme regler som ved Scoot and Little - brugte man højre hånd i Scoot Back går man til højre og visa versa - undtagen hvis andet er angivet. DK: 80
After doing the Split Circulates, if all Centers are facing Out they U-Turn Back (away from the Center of the Set) and Touch. If all Centers are facing In, they Touch. EN: 90
Er alle Centers outfacing efter de 2 Split Circulates udføres deres 1/2 Zoom som en U-Turn Back - væk fra Center efterfulgt af en Touch. Er de infacing laver de bare en Touch. DK: 90
It is our opinion that when Plenty is called from Diamonds, the caller should say something like 'Outsides go As You Are' or 'Centers Start A' so that the outsides do not start with a 1/4 Right. EN: 100
Når Plenty er Callet fra Diamonds skal Outsides ikke starte med en 1/4 Right. Calleren vil ofte sige 'Outsides go As You Are' eller 'Centers Start A'. DK: 100
The caller can optionally give a direction (In, Out, Right, Left) for the Outsides, in which case the Outsides 1/4 toward the given direction & Counter Rotate 1/4 (e.g., Left Plenty, Out Plenty, Scoot & Plenty In on the outside). EN: 110
Calleren kan give retninger (In, Out, Right, Left) for Outsides, og her skal Outsides lave 1/4 i den retning der er angivet og Counter Rotate 1/4 (eks. Left Plenty, Out Plenty, Scoot & Plenty In on the outside). DK: 110

'Position' in terms of this definition refers to a spot that could be occupied by a dancer. Within a 2 x 4 there are eight positions. A Squared Set, Butterfly, or "O" is a 16-Matrix (4 x 4) formation, and one position refers to an adjacent spot within that rectangular grid. EN: 60
'Position' i dette kald refererer til en plads der kan være optaget af en danser. I en 2 x 4 er der kun 8 pladser. Et Squared Set, Butterfly, eller "O" er en 16-Matrix (4 x 4) formation, og én position refererer til en ved siden af liggende plads inden for denne matrix. DK: 60
The direction can be In, Out, Right, or Left. In and Out are relative to the Center of the Set. EN: 70
Retningerne kan være In, Out, Right, eller Left. In og Out refererer til centeret af formationen. DK: 70

Ramble is a sex-dependent call since it involves a Slide Thru. Since Ramble is called from all possible sex-arrangements at C1, many dancers learning C1 need to re-learn how to properly do a Slide Thru. EN: 80
Ramble er et kønsbestemt kald eftersom det involverer en Slide Thru. Da Ramble kan Calles fra alle mulige køns-positioner skal man være opmærksom på at udføre Slide Thru korrekt. DK: 80
Some glossaries define the Outside's part of Ramble as a Divide (1/4 Out & Ends Bend) instead of a Cast Back (or Peel Off), hence you may encounter a caller calling Ramble from a setup in which some of the Outsides start facing in. EN: 90

The Outsides should pass Right-shoulders with each other. Other glossaries may define the Outsides' part as 1/4 Out & Cross Cast Back [C1] (hence implying a Left-shoulder pass). EN: 60
Ends skal passere højre skulder med hinanden da det er en Trade. (Andre sete fortolkninger kan definere Ends' part som 1/4 Out & Cross Cast Back [C1] - og det indebærer en Left Shoulder Pass som ikke er korrekt). DK: 60

 Rotate -- [C1,C2,C3B]rotate_c1.php  

Rotates (Rotate, Reverse Rotate, Single Rotate, and Reverse Single Rotate) are listed on different challenge lists according to the starting formation. EN: 10
At C1, EN: 20
På C1, DK: 20
Rotates can only be called from a Generalized Squared Set, or from similar formations (e.g., from Columns, the Ends only). EN: 30
kan Rotates kun calles fra generelle Squared Set, eller lignende formationer (eks. fra Columns, The Ends Only) DK: 30

At C3B, EN: 60
På C3B, DK: 60
Rotates can also be called from Columns. EN: 70
Procedure for dancing Rotates: EN: 80
Identify the center point of your setup. EN: 90
The center point of your setup is the very center point of the square (commonly called the "flagpole center") except in the following cases: EN: 100
If you are in a 2 x 4 formation and are in Lines, the center point is the Center of each Box (i.e., work Split). If you are in a 2 x 4 T-Bone, the center point for the Column dancers is the flagpole center, whereas the Line dancers are working Split. EN: 110
If Rotate is preceded by the term Split, then divide your formation into two equal subformations. The center point is the Center of your subformation. From a 2 x 4, Split means to divide the setup into two 2 x 2s, not two 1 x 4s. EN: 120
If Rotate is preceded by the name of a formation in which to work, the center point is the Center of that formation. For example, from Columns consider 'Each Column Single Rotate 1/4'. In this case, the center point is the Center of the 1 x 4 setup. EN: 130
Turn 1/4 relative to that center point according to the following rules: EN: 140
Individually 1/4 To Promenade EN: 150
Individually 1/4 To Reverse Promenade EN: 160
Turn 1/4 so that your left shoulder is toward the Center of your formation. EN: 170
Turn 1/4 so that your right shoulder is toward the Center of your formation. EN: 180
Counter Rotate the given fraction around that center point. EN: 190
From a Squared Set, active dancers work around the outside of the set. The inactive dancers should move into the center of the set. EN: 200

Cheat for Reverse Single Rotate 1/4 (from Lines): EN: 440

Be aware that there are many dancers who use these cheats. Also, experienced dancers often seem as if they are dancing this way (when they are Trailers they simply do some sort of Walk & Dodge movement). We believe it is okay to dance this way if you still think in your mind to 'turn 1/4 & Box Counter Rotate', so that you keep in mind that there is a flowing direction toward which you can Roll. Note that this cheat will not work if the fraction is 0/4. If the fraction is greater than 1/4 then use Box Counter Rotates for the rest of the call. EN: 460

Ved Reverse Rotate eller Reverse Single Rotate, drej dig 1/4 (As Couples eller Individuelt) så din Højre Skulder vender ind mod midten af squaren. DK: 580
Rotate means As Couples; Single Rotate means Individually. EN: 590
Rotate betyder As Couples; Single Rotate betyder Individuelt. DK: 590
If no fraction is given, then assume 1/4. In our opinion, the caller should always give a fraction. EN: 600
Hvis ingen fraction er givet så gælder 1/4. DK: 600
The caller can give the fraction 0 (or 0/4), in which case just turn 1/4 and do not Counter Rotate at all. EN: 610
Calleren kan give fractionen 0 (eller 0/4), her skal du blot dreje 1/4 og ikke udføre Counter Rotate. DK: 610
Why is the Rotate FAMILY split across three levels? The answer is that the definition of Rotate is inconsistent, in the sense that the definition is formation-dependent. In our opinion, dancers should have one concise definition that can be applied to any legal starting formation. The C2-style Rotates are the culprits, and we believe these Rotates should have been named Split Rotate (instead of Rotate), and Split Single Rotate (instead of Single Rotate), so that there would be no conflict. Unfortunately, Rotates were not defined quite so cleanly. EN: 620
