At a C2 dance last weekend, from boy-boy girl-girl waves, the caller called Girls Kickoff. We had been taught by our caller that in this case the boys should partner tag,
but neither the caller nor apparently any of the other dancers construed it this way. Your definition seems to make it clear that you would have expected the boys, as non-designated dancers, to partner tag. Is this correct?
Similar question -- same formation, and the call is Girls Run. Should the boys slide nose-to-nose?
In my opinion, it is inappropriate to use Kick Off in this manner.
The boys should not Partner Tag. I believe that you only do a Partner Tag if there is someone Running (Kicking) into your position.
I plan on adding a few paragraphs to our definition of Kick Off so that it is not abused in this way.
No. There is no-one Running into a Boy's position so the Boys do not move.
