Hinweise:
  • Teamwork is required for successful execution of Chain Reaction. EN: 100
    Teamwork ist erfrorderlich für die erfolgreiche Ausführung von Chain Reaction. DE: 100
    • Don't rush it. EN: 110
      Tue nichts übereilt. DE: 110
    • Don't move unless you have someone to work with for the next part of the call. EN: 120
      Bewege dich nicht, es sei denn du hast jemanden mit dem du beim nächsten Teil den Calls zusammenarbeiten kannst. DE: 120
    • Wait an extra beat or two, as necessary, so that everyone is in the correct position for the next part of the call. EN: 130
      Warte einen extra Takt oder zwei, wenn nötig, so dass jeder in der richtigen Position für den nächsten Teil des Calls ist. DE: 130
    • Outside Dancers not directly facing a Very Center must stay in place for the first part of the call. Wait for another dancer to come to you before doing the Hinge. Should you start moving prematurely, you may cause the square to break down. EN: 140
      Outside Tänzer, der nicht direkt einen Very Center ansieht (sondern auf den Rücken schaut) muss für den ersten Teil des Calls still auf der Stelle stehen. Warte auf einen anderen Tänzer, der auf dich zukommt, bevor du das Hinge machst. Solltest du dich zu früh bewegen, könntest du die Ursache dafür sein, dass der Square zusammenbricht. update DE: 140
    • Wait until there are four hands in the star before you start to turn it! EN: 150
      Warte bis sich vier Hände im Stern befinden, bevor du anfängst ihn zu drehen! DE: 150

  • At C1 and above, Chain Reaction may be called from any valid generalized 1/4 Tag. EN: 180
    Siehe auch Chain Reaction [by definition] [C1].

Warning: EN: 190

Some callers teach Chain Reaction as follows: EN: 200
  1. Everybody Extend; EN: 210
  2. Centers Hinge während Ends 1/2 Circulate;
  3. Center Star turn 1/4 während Outsides Trade;
  4. Those who meet Cast Off 3/4 as Others move up. EN: 220

Please do not learn Chain Reaction in this manner. EN: 230

Although the above definition (henceforth referred to as the 'cheat' definition) may seem like an equivalent and easier definition, it has many problems: EN: 240

  1. From a L-H 1/4 Tag, the cheat definition causes some dancers to pass the wrong shoulder, which may lead to a collision or unnecessary shuffle steps as two facing dancers attempt to pass different shoulders. EN: 280
  2. If you advance into the C1-level, you will have to re-learn the correct definition of Chain Reaction since the cheat definition does not work from all legal starting positions. EN: 250
  3. If a concept is applied to Chain Reaction, you may be unable to properly execute the call if you follow the cheat definition. (e.g., Those Facing Start Chain Reaction; Finish Chain Reaction; Initially Twice Chain Reaction) EN: 260
  4. The cheat definition is inconsistent with the definition of Cross Chain Reaction [C3A]. EN: 270

Variationen:
Star 1/2, 3/4, or Don't Turn The Star. EN: 290
