Mainstream (2) No.60 - 60

. . 60. Cast Off 3/4
People Involved 2 dancers / 4 dancers
START mini wave / line
END mini wave / facing couple
Movement Each half of the line or wave works as a unit and moves forward around a pivot point three quarters (270¡). If the adjoining dancers are facing the same direction, the end dancer becomes the pivot while the other dancer moves ina semi-circle around the pivot. If the adjoining dancers are facing in opposite directions, the pivot point is the handhold between them and they move equally around that pivot point.


. . 61. Walk and Dodge
People Involved 4 dancers
START mini wave box / facing couple
END back to back couples / mini wave box
Movement From box circulate formation, each dancer facing into the box walks forward to take the place of the dancer who was directly in front of him. Meanwhile, each dancer facing out of the box steps sideways (dodges) into the position vacated by the "walker" who was formerly beside him. Dancers end side byside, both facing out. If walk and dodge is called from facing couples, the caller must designate who is to walk and who is to dodge (e.g., "men walk,ladies dodge"). Ending is a box circulate formation.
