[Noho] Class on March 28th

Hello Square Dancers!

Looking forward to seeing you all tonight - same time, same place as last
week.

Last week we learned the following calls: Scoot Back, Recycle, and Slid
Thru.  Definitions are at the end of this email.  We also learned a new
flourish on the right and left grand.  With the first and third person you
meet in the right and left grand you do a little balance and then the man
will twirl the women under his arm.  You continue on in the normal r-l
grand direction from there.  Don't worry, we'll review this! :)

Ken has reserved the hall on Saturday, June 3rd for our dance.  I imagine
that it will be a mainstream dance with some plus tips, we'll have to see
how far we are with plus by that time.  Save the date!

Come early tonight for review, if you'd like.

See you tonight!

Bethany

RECYCLE: Starting formation - ocean wave. Centers move forward in a small
semi-circle to stand behind the adjacent end. All four dancers walk
forward one quarter of a circle in a smooth arc, then all turn in place
one quarter (90°) toward the foursome. End as facing couples.

SLIDE THRU: Starting formation - facing dancers. Dancers pass thru then
turn one quarter (90°). Men always turn right; women always turn left.
Dancers end side by side.

SCOOT BACK: Starting formation - a box. From a box, dancers facing in step
straight forward to join adjacent forearms with each other, turn half
(180°) and step forward to end in the position vacated by the dancer who
was facing out. Meanwhile, each dancer facing out runs into the position
vacated by the dancer who is doing the forearm turn. When done from right
hand boxes, the dancers facing in turn by the right and the dancers facing
out run right. When done from left hand boxes, the dancers facing in turn
by the left and the dancers facing out run left. Finish in a box circulate
formation.
