and Spread (allow enough space for two dancers). EN: 160
Out-Facing Centers (the "Shadowers") should make a wide arc for the
Cloverleaf so at not to interfere with the Ends. Out-Facing
Centers end in the near center position. EN: 170
In-Facing Centers Extend to join inside hands, Arm Turn 1/4 with each other,
wait for about two beats to allow the Ends to finish their Cast Off 3/4,
and then Extend. Be sure to use only one hand for the Extend & Arm Turn 1/4.
We have frequently seen overly-excited dancers step forward, join both hands, whoop and kick,
and then forget which way to turn and consequently have no idea where they belong. EN: 180
When Cast A Shadow is called from Promenade, the
designated Couple (Leaders) should continue Promenading until they are squared off
to a wall and then Step Forward as the others bend in behind them to form
Parallel Two-Faced Lines; then everyone Cast A Shadow.
Executing the call in this manner guarantees that the ending formation
(Parallel Waves) is squared off to the walls. EN: 190
How to dance Cast A Shadow from Promenade: EN: 200
If all Centers start facing out, they do a Cloverleaf.
If all Centers start facing in, they do their part of the call
(danced as a Pass Thru & Partner Tag). EN: 240
It is considered inappropriate for the caller to call Cast A Shadow
from formations in which the Ends start facing or back-to-back. EN: 250
Cast A Shadow has a tendency to expand the size of the square.
Therefore, after completing the call, tighten up your formation. EN: 260
