Warning:

Some callers teach Chain Reaction as follows:

  1. Everybody Extend;
  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.

Please do not learn Chain Reaction in this manner.

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

  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.
  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.
  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)
  4. The cheat definition is inconsistent with the definition of Cross Chain Reaction [C3A].

Variationen: Star 1/2, 3/4, oder Don't Turn The Star.

Scoot Reaction [C3A]: From Parallel Waves. Scoot Back but the Centers hold on after the Arm Turn 1/2 as the Outsides slide together to form a Couple; all Chain Reaction. Ends in Parallel Waves.

anything The Action [C4]: Do the anything call (which usually ends in a Trade By formation); Centers make a R-H Star (usually 1/2 Reverse Swap Around) and Star 1/4 as Outsides Hinge & Trade; Those who meet Cast Off 3/4 as Others move up. Usually ends in Parallel Waves.

Chain Reaction But anything [NOL]: Do a Chain Reaction, except the final Centers replace Cast Off 3/4 with the anything call. For example (from a R-H 1/4 Tag): Chain Reaction But Left Swing Thru.
