注釈:
-
1/4 Top, 1/2 Top, and 3/4 Top are known as fractional tops.
They are based on the call All Eight Spin The Top [Plus].
- On All Eight Spin The Top,
everybody does an Arm Turn 1/2 then moves up to meet the 4-th dancer.
- On 1/4 | 1/2 | 3/4 Top,
everybody does an Arm Turn 1/2 then moves up to meet the
n-th dancer,
where n = 1 for 1/4 Top, n = 2 for 1/2 Top,
or n = 3 for 3/4 Top.
-
Do not rush these calls. In particular, these calls are often called in rapid succession
(e.g., 3/4 Top, followed by a 1/4 Top, followed by a 1/2 Top, etc.).
Do not get over-anxious and start another Arm Turn 1/2 until you
actually hear the next call.
-
Verbally or mentally count the dancers as they go by. Count to 3 for
3/4 Top; 2 for 1/2 Top, and 1 for 1/4 Top.
-
The first part of these calls is to Arm Turn 1/2.
Therefore, if the call is 1/4 Top, don't try
to start by doing a 1/4 turn.
