Noter:
  • Zig means 1/4 Right; Zag means 1/4 Left. EN: 60
  • From a Generalized Tandem, the caller can give any combination of these two words (i.e., Zig-Zag, Zig-Zig, Zag-Zig, or Zag-Zag). The first word is directed to the Leaders, and the second word is directed to the Trailers. EN: 70
  • Zig-Zag always ends in a Right-hand setup, whereas Zag-Zig always ends in a Left-hand setup. EN: 80
  • An easy way to think about Zig-Zag is to just turn 1/4 to join Right-hands with the other dancer in your Generalized Tandem. If you do the call in this manner, you don't need to think about whether you're a Leader or a Trailer and whether or not you need to do a 1/4 Right or a 1/4 Left. Alternatively, on Zag-Zig just turn 1/4 to join Left-hands with the other dancer in your Generalized Tandem. EN: 90
  • To successfully dance calls such as Zig-Zag in real-time, you need to have formation awareness. This involves knowing where you are in the current formation, and your relationship to the other dancers. You should know whether you are a Leader or Trailer, Beau or Belle, End or Center, etc. from any applicable formation. EN: 100

From a One-Faced Column of 3, the caller could give three words (e.g., Zig-Zag-Zag), in which case the first word goes to #1, the second to #2, and the third to #3. EN: 110
