From Columns or other applicable formations.
First Two dancers in the Column (#1 and #2) move forward in Single File
around the outside of the other Column until parallel with
the Center Box and then individually Face In (to end as a Couple) as the
Others step forward to form a compact formation ("normalize") and do the
anything call.
Noter:
-
At the A2-level (i.e., from normal Columns), "normalize" means to Circulate
one position to form a Center Box. At other levels, "normalize" means to
step forward to form a compact formation. "Normalize" is dependent upon
the starting formation and the facing directions of dancers within that formation. A
"normalize" could be a 1/2 Circulate, a full Circulate, or a
Circulate 1 & 1/2.
-
The First Two (#1 and #2) can alternatively think about their part as
any of the following:
- From R-H Columns: Track 2 & Face In.
- Single File Promenade (toward facing direction) a little less than
1/2 way and Face In.
- Do 3 Column Circulates, taking a wider path than normal, then
Face In. CALLERLAB describes the movement in this manner.
The following examples illustrate how "normalize" works. These instances
of Transfer And are primarily only used at C1 and above
since the starting formations are T-Boned.
