From a Line or Alamo Ring.
Designated dancers, working toward the Center of the Line, successively
do a Partner Trade with each dancer until reaching the far end of the
Line. Ripple n means to Trade with a total of n dancers.
n can include a fraction (e.g., Ripple 2 & 1/2 means to Partner Trade
with 2 successive dancers and then 1/2 Partner Trade with the third dancer).
Notes:
-
When Ripple is called from a 1 x 8 Line, work on each side
unless otherwise specified. Note however that a call such as
Very Ends Ripple {n} where n is greater than
3 forces the designated dancers to cross the Very Center and
work with dancers from the other side.
-
The caller can specify the direction toward which the designated dancers
are to begin (e.g., Head Lady Right Ripple 2). From an Alamo Ring,
the direction must always be specified.
-
If no direction is specified, the designated dancers do the first
Trade moving toward the Center of the Line.
-
There may be more than one designated dancer. For example, from a
Wave, the call could be Ends Ripple 2.
