Once Removed Concept [C2] (Norm Poisson 1976) |

view (admin) |
Divide the overall formation along its long axis into planes of dancers (e.g., a 1 x 8 has eight planes; a 2 x 4 has four planes). Dancers occupying every other plane work together to do the given call. At the end of the given call, the dancers in one set of planes must end within their original set of planes.

At C2, Once Removed is primarily limited to doing simple (i.e., non-shape-changing) calls from a 2 x 4 or a 1 x 4. From a 2 x 2, the dancers work in a manner similar to working in (Interlocked) Blocks [C1].
See Block FORMATION [C1] for a list of non-shape-changing calls from a 2 x 2.
