[Noho] Class this week

[Bethany Seeger]

Happy May!

So last week I heard that Ken taught Relay the Deucey, Roll, and
Crossfire. I've included definitions for them below.

I look forward to seeing you all tonight,
Bethany

RELAY THE DEUCEY: Starting formation – parallel ocean waves. Each end
and the adjacent center dancer turn one-half (180°). The new centers of
each ocean wave turn three-quarters (270°), while the others half
circulate, forming a six-person wave and two lonesome dancers. The wave
of six, working as 3 pairs, turns 1/2, while the others half circulate.
In the wave, the center 4 turn 1/2, while the other four dancers half
circulate. The wave of 6, again working as 3 pairs, turns 1/2, while the
others half circulate. Finally, the center 4 of the wave turn 3/4
(becoming the centers of the new waves), while the outside 4 half
circulate to become the ends of the final waves.

CROSSFIRE: Starting formation – two-faced line. The centers trade as the
ends cross fold. Everyone then extends to form mini-waves. End in a box.

(ANYTHING) AND ROLL: Starting formation – various. Turn individually, in
place, one quarter (90°) more in the direction of body flow determined
by the last part of the preceding call. Dancers walking in a straight
line at the completion of their portion of the preceding call do nothing
for the roll.
