Definitions of Square Dance Calls and Concepts -- Diamond {anything} Concept [C4]

From Twin Diamonds.

Do the anything call but use all four dancers in your Diamond when executing all movements on the outside. The traffic pattern usually contains Diamond Circulates.

Ends in Twin Diamonds.

Any 2-dancer call and some 4-dancer calls may be used with this concept.

Typical 2-dancer calls:

Partner Tag
Patch The anyone
Shazam
Single Turn & Deal
Single Wheel
Turn Thru

Typical 4-dancer calls:

1/4 (or 3/4) Thru
Swing Thru
Swing The Fractions (an 8-dancer call!)
Remake
Slip-Swing-Slither
Ripple The Wave

Diamond Single Wheel:


before Diamond Single Wheel		after

Diamond 1/4 Thru:


before Diamond 1/4 Thru		after Diamond Right Arm Turn 1/4 (Diamond Circulate)		after Diamond Left Arm Turn 1/2 (Very Centers Trade) (done)

Notes:

For 2-dancer calls, work in each Diamond. The points work with each other as the Centers work with each other.
Calls that always start with the R-H must start with the R-H (e.g., from L-H Twin Diamonds a Diamond Swing Thru starts in the Center!).
Each dancer must end on one of the footprints of the original formation. Shape-changers are not allowed.

Variation: Magic Diamond anything.
