bjarvisWe're coming close to the end of the fall Mainstream square dance class. Last night, we covered:
centers in, cast off 3/4, spin the top, fold and hinge. We also introduced "cross run" and "cross fold," although didn't do much with those: we'll work those a bit more next week.
I was anticipating all sorts of disasters with "spin the top," but it went smoother than anticipated. After 3-4 repetitions, they had it down.
Next week, we do walk & dodge, tag the line, half-tag, recycle and spin chain thru. I'm hoping that working spin the top this week will help rather than hinder learning spin chain thru: the similar names may cause issues but I've been wrong before. They've effectively been doing recycle the past number of weeks: we've just called it as centers U turn back and everyone wheel & deal... hopefully simply tacking a name onto it won't be a problem.
The following Monday will be the final class where we simply review & drill all of the calls and add flourishes. Graduation is set for December 21 at the holiday party/club night.
