Fan Concept -- [C3B]
   (author unknown)
C3B:     

Language: or        All   

The Fan CONCEPT is used on calls which begin with an Arm Turn 1/2 (Swing) followed by a Centers Cast Off 3/4. Omit the initial Arm Turn 1/2 and do the given call.

Typical calls used with the Fan CONCEPT include:

Alter & Circulate Spin Chain & Exchange The Gears
Alter The Wave Spin Chain The Gears
Relay The Deucey Spin Chain The Line
Relay The Shadow Spin Chain Thru
Relay The Top  

Notes:

  • The Fan CONCEPT was derived by generalizing the difference between 'Spin The Top' and 'Fan The Top'.
  • For calls whose name begins with the word 'Spin' the word 'Spin' is replaced with the word 'Fan' (e.g., Spin Chain the Gears becomes Fan Chain the Gears). For all other calls the word 'Fan' is inserted before the name of the call (e.g., Alter the Wave becomes Fan Alter the Wave).
  • The calls listed above can also be done from a Facing Setup (Eight Chain Thru or Facing Lines). If so, Step To A Wave and then do the call.
  • The caller could alternatively say Finish any call instead of Fan any call.
