It's Back!

Square dance cultists aficionados note: "spin chain thru" has been moved from the Plus list to the Mainstream list. This after being moved from Mainstream to Plus in 2001.

Figures. Now I have to figure out where to insert it into both Mainstream classes in which I'm involved.

Cool! I love spin chain thru! It gets completely over shadowed by the abysmal, stupid and over used "spin chain and exchange the gears" and from what I remember from caller school, "spin chain thru is pretty handy for moving people in the square when you need to move only a couple people but keep the same formation.

Yup, effectively so. I kinda like "spin chain & exchange the gears," especially if I need to kill a few seconds to sort out who is with their partner, or if I set up the waves so that the boys have to lead the train for a little variety.

By contrast, "spin chain the gears" (no exchange) can die a quiet death without me noticing. :-)

I'm definitely going to quickly workshop "spin chain thru" the next time I'm calling, then keep using it more frequently at MS and Plus. It's an old favourite.
