This is a blog for gay square dancers, and gay square dancing. Wahoo! Sunday, December 23, 2007. What's in a name? Monday, December 10, 2007. A Question and a Plea. Relay The Deucey, Motivate, Chain Reaction—what do they all have in common? They often break squares down. And the reason why is also something they all have in common: they depend on stars or star-like formations and there are four. Different paths (the maximum) an individual dancer may have to dance through. . Sunday, December 2, 2007.

Square Up!: Relay the Deucey

http://dclambdasquaredance.blogspot.com/2008/03/relay-deucey.html

This is a blog for gay square dancers, and gay square dancing. Wahoo! Sunday, March 9, 2008. Relay the Deucey is a hard call to teach, to workshop. I've never seen it done successfully. I've come to think a large part of the problem is dancers not knowing how to Half-Circulate. It should also be clear that there are six parts to Relay the Deucey:. 1  Partner Trade. 2  Centers Cast Off 3/4. 3  Center Six Trade. 4  Center Four Trade. 5  Center Six Trade. 6  Centers Cast Off 3/4. These boots are for dancing!

Square Up!: August 2008

http://dclambdasquaredance.blogspot.com/2008_08_01_archive.html

This is a blog for gay square dancers, and gay square dancing. Wahoo! Friday, August 8, 2008. At square dancing last night, Dayle had us in facing lines, then he called Wheel and Deal. We stood there, confused, and broke down the square. Some of us tried to work with the line that we were facing. Wrong! We should have been working in our own line. How do you do that? Should we shimmy around that couple that's in front of us? Maybe I'll just stand here. Doh! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Vic and Debbie Ceder.

Tim and I were out dancing last night at a Challenge 1 club. I was talking with one of the oldtime dancers. He told me about dance nights twenty years ago when eight squares (sixty-four dancers) would show up for. Dancing. We had two squares and two extra couples last night. Can this downward trend be reversed? Frankly, the costumes are offputting for most people.

This is a blog for gay square dancers, and gay square dancing. Wahoo! Wednesday, July 9, 2008. Touch A Quarter Century. Wasn't able to dance much at this convention but almost every tip was instructive:. 1 All 4 Couples, Partner Tag — what an interesting (? Idea, applying "All 4 Couples" (meant for facing couple calls) to a single couple call. Or, what is the difference between All 4 Couples, Partner Tag vs the simpler Partner Tag? Well of course you don't. "Split" means do the first part of the call...

This is a blog for gay square dancers, and gay square dancing. Wahoo! Saturday, June 14, 2008. I Belong to a Cult. I went to a Challenge workshop this morning at Ett's. She had various lists most popular and least popular calls for C2 levels and above. There's actually a person out there somewhere who surveys Challenge dancers and their tastes! I don't know, because I don't ever expect to get there. Challenge has a mythology. And I've only been dancing C-1 since last Thursday, just kidding. At the end of...

This is a blog for gay square dancers, and gay square dancing. Wahoo! Monday, September 24, 2007. Andy Shore in his workshop covered (among many things). Here is the definition for Teacup Chain:. TEACUP CHAIN -Starting formation -Static Square, or proceeding from everyone doing a Left Arm Turn with partner. TIMING - 32. So the big takeaway with Teacup Chain, is that when all is said and done in the middle of the square, the ladies are moving in the promenade direction to the next man! Welcome to DC Lambd...

Square Up!

This is a blog for gay square dancers, and gay square dancing. Wahoo! Wednesday, July 16, 2008. As Easy as ABC! I was over at Kent, Brian, and Michael's last night. Kent and I were discussing the DC Diamond Circulate web site, then veered off into other square dance topics. He asked me if I had heard of ABC Square Dancing. I had heard about it, but hadn't really looked into it. The ABC square dancing restores some of this. Danceability back to square dancing. Couples, within a tip or two, learn basic...
