Do the Centers part of the anything call. EN: 10

If the starting formation is a 2 x 4 and if the Centers part of the anything call can be done from either a 1 x 4 or a 2 x 2 (e.g., Counter or Detour), then work in the 2 x 2. For this case, the caller should specify in which setup the dancers are to do the call (e.g., Each Wave do a Central Counter). EN: 20

Central Spin The Windmill:


before Central Spin The Windmill		after Swing-Slip		after Cast Off 3/4 (done)

Central Ease Off:

Here is a partial list of calls that might be done Central at C3B: EN: 30

Choice	Counter	Cross Counter
Cross Ramble	Delight \| Dilemma	Detour
Dodge anything	Ease Off	Explode The Diamond
Fan Chain Thru	Hocus Pocus	Horseshoe Turn
Interlocked Counter	Interlocked Little	Interlocked Little More
Interlocked Rally	Interlocked Ramble	Little
Little More	Load The Boat	Ramble
Rally	Regroup	Relocate
Scramble	Spin The Windmill	Stampede
Team Up	Trip The Set	TurnStyle

Note that the above list of calls only includes calls in which the Centers remain Centers throughout the entire call. For example, on calls such as Sets In Motion or on Strut Right | Left, the Centers do not end as the Center 4 dancers. On these calls there are normally some outside dancers who end in the Center. Hence, on the Central version of these calls, since there are no outside dancers involved it is ambiguous where the dancers end. Do they leave space for phantoms? EN: 40
