Night 3 May 21 2025

 

If you missed the previous session, don't worry! We've already covered most of the calls on the mainstream list, and there will be plenty of time to review and build upon what we've learned so far.

The workshop was designed to start with a strong focus intentionally, allowing us to dive into the calls, practice them, and become comfortable with the steps. 

You're an amazing group, and we're excited to continue this journey with you!

Night 5 June 3, 2025

Spin the Top   From Ocean Waves

Spin the Top From facing couples, see below. 

 

FACING COUPLES RULE: Some calls done from facing couples require the dancers to first step into a momentary right ocean wave (unless it is a left-hand call, eg. "Left swing thru", in which case the dancers step into a momentary left ocean wave) before completing the call. Examples of such calls are Swing Thru; Fan the top; Spin the top; Spin Chain Thru. For beginners and new dancers, the caller may cue the parts, for example, "Heads lead right, step to a wave, swing thru" or "Pass thru, make a wave, fan the top"; but for Mainstream or more experienced beginner dancers the call will be, "Heads lead right, swing thru" or "Pass thru, fan the top".
