[Noho] Class This Week

[Bethany Seeger]

Hi Everyone,

Last week we learned Fan the Top, Chase Right, and Grand Swing Thru.
There are some definitions below.

If my count is correct, there's only 10 more calls that we'll need to
learn to be up to Plus level. Yipee!! Class -- you're doing a great job!!

See you tomorrow night!
Bethany

FAN THE TOP: Starting formation – ocean wave or two-faced lines. The centers of the line or wave turn three quarters (270°) while the outside dancers move forward in a quarter circle. The ending formation is at right angles to the starting formation. Centers remain centers and ends remain ends. 

CHASE RIGHT: Starting formation – couples back-to-back. Right-hand dancers do an exaggerated zoom action, moving into the position previously occupied by the right-hand dancer diagonally behind them, to finish facing in the same direction as when they started the zoom action. (The net result is the same as if the right-hand dancer had done a right-face U turn back and box circulate twice). The left-hand dancer follows (“chases”) the right-hand dancer by doing a box circulate two positions. The call finishes in a box circulate formation. 

GRAND SWING THRU: Starting formation – tidal wave or ocean wave of six dancers. Those who can, turn by the right one-half (180°), then those who can, turn by the left one-half (180°).
