Tagging Calls 

A Tagging Call as a call wherein a part of the call (usually the last part) feels like a Double Pass Thru.

The caller can stop the tagging action at any of the fractional Tag formations: 1/4, 1/2, and 3/4.

Several tagging calls include the word 'Tag' in their name.


Tagging Calls:

  • Chase The (fraction) Tag [C3B] (Author unknown): From Back-to-Back Couples. Belles Right-face U-Turn Back as Beaus Fold; all Extend to the given fractional Tag formation. If no fraction is given, complete a full Tag The Line.
  • Circle The (fraction) Tag [C4] (Vic Ceder 1990): From Facing Couples. Circle Left 1/4; Beaus 1/2 Walk as Belles 1/2 Dodge (this is Circle The 1/4 Tag); Extend to the given fractional Tag formation. If no fraction is given, complete a full Tag The Line.
  • Cross Flip The Line (fraction) [C3B] (Ron Schneider 1973): From a Two-Faced Line. As one movement, Centers Cross Run and all Any Shoulder Tag The Line to the given fractional Tag formation. If no fraction is given, complete a full Tag The Line.
  • Cross Loop & (fraction) Tag [C3B] (Emanuel Duming 1972): From a Mini-Wave Box or Tandem Couples. Leaders Trail off, Roll, and step forward as Trailers follow (Trail The Deal); Extend to the given fractional Tag position. If no fraction is given, complete a full Tag The Line. If starting from Tandem Couples, pass left-shoulders for the Trail Off movement.
  • Dixie (fraction) Tag [C4] (Vic Ceder 2006): From Facing Couples or Single Double Pass Thru formation. From Facing Couples, put the Belle in the lead. Centers Right Pull By; all Left Touch (this is the 1/2 tag position); Extend to the given fractional tag position. If no fraction is given, complete a full tag the line. Dixie Tag starts like a Vertical Tag The Line, but finishes in a left-handed formation.
  • Double Pass Thru [Basic] (Madelline Allen 1956).
  • Flip The Line (fraction) [C1] (Jack Lasry 1973): From a Wave. As one movement, Centers Run and all Any Shoulder Tag The Line to the given fractional Tag formation. If no fraction is given, complete a full Tag The Line.
  • Invert The Column [C2] (Ed Foote & Russ McGowan 1974): The first n dancers (those corresponding to the given fraction. E.g., from Parallel Columns of 4, n=1 for 1/4; 2 for 1/2; 3 for 3/4; 4 for full), as a Tandem unit of n, Peel Off to end in Concentric Columns of n as the Trailing dancers Extend (using Circulates) to join hands creating a compact symmetric formation. Invert The Column is not a true Tagging call since there is no Zero Tag position or 1/4 Tag position.
  • Invert The (fraction) Tag [C4] (Vic Ceder): From Mini-Wave Columns. First Two Tandem U-Turn Back by turning away from the center of the set; all Extend to the given fractional Tag position, passing the shoulder that causes to First Two to move outside of the Last Two. That is, from a R-H Column, pass left shoulders, and vice versa. Invert The 1/2 Tag is the same as 1/2 Invert The Column.
  • Loop & (fraction) Tag [C3B] (Emanuel Duming 1972): From a Mini-Wave Box or Tandem Couples. Leaders Peel off, Roll, and step forward as Trailers follow (Peel The Deal); Extend to the given fractional Tag position. If no fraction is given, complete a full Tag The Line.
  • Pass & Roll [A2] (Lee Kopman 1972): Pass & Roll is not really a tagging call, but it is sometimes used that way. (e.g., Pass & Roll Your Neighbor, Pass & Roll Your Leader, Pass & Roll Chain Thru). The "1/2 Tag position" is after all Pass Thru; Centers Turn Thru as Ends Right-Face U-Turn Back; all Touch.
  • Snap The (fraction) Tag [C4] (Lee Kopman 1974): From a Line. Partner Tag; Outsides Right-face U-Turn Back; all Extend to the given fractional Tag formation. If no fraction is given, complete a full Tag The Line.
  • (fraction) Tag The Line [Mainstream] (Will Orlich 1969): From a Line. Individually Turn 1/4 Toward the Center of the Line; Extend to the given fractional Tag formation. If no fraction is given, Extend to the full Tag position.
  • Tag The Star (fraction) [C4] (Bill Hamilton 1971): From Facing Couples. 1/2 Reverse Swap Around; Diamond Counter Rotate 1/2; Points Roll (this is Tag The Star 1/4); Extend to the given fractional Tag formation. If no fraction is given, complete a full Tag The Line.
  • Track n [C3B] (Dick Bayer and Gus Greene 1976): From a Completed Double Pass Thru formation. Tandem Partner Trade; Extend n times (where 0 <= n <= 4).
  • Vertical (fraction) Tag (The Line) [C1] (Lee Kopman 1974): From a non-T-Bone 2 x 2. Vertical; Extend to the given fractional Tag formation.
