Bounce The {anyone} #1
From a 1/4 Line formation (e.g., from static square heads travel thru) what happens on the call Heads Bounce The Sides?

Do the people that U-Turn Back need to be in the active two faced line?

If you called:
Heads Travel Thru; Bounce The Sides;

I would expect the Heads to Veer back-to-back, and the Sides to do nothing.

If you want the Sides to do a U-Turn Back, then you should say one of the following:

  1. Heads Start Bounce The Sides;
  2. Initially Centers Bounce The Sides;
  3. Initially Heads Bounce The Sides.

In any case, I find this kind of choreography aesthetically unpleasing and gimmicky. I think the best thing is to drop this idea.

Also, a pet peeve of mine is that I believe callers should not omit the {anyone} dancers. That is, some callers simply call Bounce when they mean Bounce Nobody.
