billeyler mentioned that Left Square Chain Thru broke the room down. I've actually seen this a lot, probably because even when people form the [unusually right-handed] wave, they don't trust that a vanilla [right] Swing Thru can be part of the call. Or something like that.
As for A1 & A2... I remember that no sooner had john_nyc and I finished our class than we suddenly didn't know which calls belonged to which. I associate Chain Reaction with A1, since it's typically the first "big" call we learn, along with Quarter Thru, Pass In/Out, 1/4 In/Out, Pair Off, and Wheel Thru... and I know that Slip, Slide, Swing, Slither, Zig Zag (etc.), Triple Star Thru and even the Beaus/Belles identifiers belong to A2. And, of course, Motivate and some other big multi-part calls. But Nick M. threw in some A2 before we were done with A1, particularly the Beaus/Belles thing. And I keep hearing that Callerlab either has or wants to eliminate the distinction between A1 and A2 anyway.
