Rebecca,

That looks fine - I don't use a stage.

Once the dance starts - I assume we can get rid of the chairs and use the whole 
room - the floor looks very small for the number of students you are expecting

Thanks,

Mac

You could call the dance "Ziggy and the Waves", or "Zigsaw", or "Second 
Wave", or "Wave Goodbye".


Hope this helps!

Re: [Callers] Dance in Need of a Name

2013-11-09 Thread Andrea Nettleton 
As a matter of nomenclature, it's a box circulate, the box being the hands 
four.  Wave circulate could mean for the wave to circle, but in any case the 
precedent is to call it a box circulate.
Zig zags take way less time than you think, so you could get your dance going 
CW by circling once and a quarter before the zig zag. To get everyone to the 
right side, instead of the see saw, you could do a star promenade with the new 
N.  W in for a ricochet, P Alle R to the short wave (really it's just touch a 
quarter since you don't even go 1/2.). I think you will find a Cir 3/4 and zig 
zag will consistently get everyone to new neighbors early.

Greetings fellow callers,

I recently wrote a dance, but can't think of a name. I'm calling it this
evening, so I'm hoping something will happen that makes a funny story as to
how the dance got its name. Failing that, I was wondering if any of you had
any suggestions.
