Notes:
  • When Plan Ahead is done from formations other than Facing Lines (e.g., Inverted Lines with the Ends Facing Out): the Ends must be careful to Circulate 1 & 1/2 before the Hinge. There is a tendency for the Ends to Hinge with the first dancer they meet.
  • We have recently learned that there are callers who believe that the first part for the Centers is a 1/2 Circulate and Hinge (instead of Touch 1/4). This can lead to several other possible starting formations.
