This looks really interesting....but I'm having some trouble picturing how the multiple square arrangements would work. 2 Squares I can picture, but I'm a little unsure about how three squares would be laid out and even less sure what the difference between "Four Squares" and "Four Squares -- closed box" is. Anyone care to step up with some clarification?

Hello All;

Since we are mostly interested in contras and squares, I'd like to share with you what I've learned about a hybrid formation that combines contras and squares called zia formation (see the attached). In the past year I've started writing and calling zias, and have found they can be a fun novelty for those audiences experienced enough to appreciate them. Compared to another hybrid formation, grid squares, I have found they are harder to write but easier to dance, as they tend to stay aligned better and thus give dancers a more clearly defined path. I'd certainly be interested if anyone on this list knows of other zia dances that have been used.

I hope you enjoy the discussion and the dances, and this gives you another way to bring fun to your dancers -
