Definitions of Square Dance Calls and Concepts -- T-Bone Concept [C1]

T-Bone is a name given to any (usually rectangular) setup in which at least one dancer's facing direction is 90 degrees off relative to another dancers' facing direction. The word 'T-Bone' is typically not said unless the caller wishes to emphasize that the dancers should pay attention. EN: 10

When doing calls from T-Bone formations, do your part of the given call. Assume that dancers T-Boned to you are facing in whatever direction is necessary for you to do your part of the call. Usually, you will not interact much with those who are T-Boned to you, and the call may feel quite different than when done from a normal setup. EN: 20

Peel & Trail の前		後


Walk & Dodge の前		後


Acey Deucey の前		後


Out Roll Circulate の前		後

When executing Circulates (and calls involving Circulates) the Lead dancers who make a loop as part of their traffic pattern must move around the outside of any dancers who are moving straight ahead. This means that some dancers may pass Right-Shoulders while other dancers may pass Left-Shoulders. Be careful to pass the correct shoulder since the caller could fractionalize the call. EN: 70
