 Our Lesson Log- Kirk Rockerbie 

Welcome to Square Dance. I am looking forward to teaching you the pleasure of modern square dance. My emphasis will be on having fun, and maybe a few cookies. In this blog I will be able to give you a review of the last lesson and a heads up for your next week.

Lesson 

A sample - below are entries from our last set of classes, take a look but beware- square dance is easier to do than describe in writing

January 13 - Lesson Log

​Hi everyone.  Hope you enjoyed class.  Here are the new figures we covered.
 
 
1.Cloverleaf
 
Starting formation - Completed Double Pass Thru
 
The lead dancers separate and move away from each other in a three quarter (270 degrees) circle.
 
When each lead dancer approaches another lead dancer from the other side of the square, they both reach with outside hands, blending into a couple handhold as they continue into the center of the square to become a couple facing in.
 
Each trailing dancer follows the dancer in front, and ends directly behind that same dancer.

See “Mainstream”, Cloverleaf
 
2.Pass to the Center
 
Starting formation – couples facing each other (e.g., one couple looking, the other couple looking out).
 
Both couples Pass Thru. The couples looking out of the square will do a Partner Trade.

3.Spin Chain Thru
 
Starting formation - parallel waves.
 
Each end and the adjacent center dancer turn one half (180°). The new centers of each ocean wave turn three quarters (270°) to make a new ocean wave across the set. The two centers of this wave turn one half (180°) to reform the wave across the set. The two outside pairs of dancers of the center wave now turn three quarters (270°) to join the waiting ends and form parallel ocean waves.

  1. Turn Thru
  2. Eight Chain Thru
  3. Spin the Top
  4. Walk and Dodge
 
 
Great work!  Kirk
