Left Concept

(September/October 2004)

Q: At which program do we expect the dancers to know the “Left” concept (i.e., Lead Left, Left Turn Thru, Left Box The Gnat, Left Trade By, etc.)?

A: Most MS dancers should be able to do these calls except “Left Trade By.” If the dancers do not know how to do them or have never heard them, they should be work-shopped. A lot of GOOD caller judgment must be used when branching out into this area and it should NOT be taken too far.

Reverse Concept

(September/October 2004)

Q: At which program do we expect the dancers to know the “Reverse” concept (i.e., Reverse Rollaway, Reverse Half Sashay, Reverse Do Paso, Reverse Circle To A Line, In Reverse Order Right and Left Thru)?

A: This usage would not be expected until beyond the Plus Program however, some of them can be used at MS and Plus IF THE CALLER IS VERY CAREFUL TO NOT OVER USE THE CONCEPT!
