Definitions ==> Calls and Concepts
Touch & Go
Could you please give your definition and one common example of usage for each of these 4 variants:
  1. T&G fraction1 by fraction2
  2. T&G anything by fraction
  3. T&G fraction by anything
  4. T&G anything by anything

Are there any default fractions?

Touch & Go <fract1>|<anything1> By <fract2>|<anything2>:

From Columns.

  1. 1/2 Circulate;
  2. Center 6 Arm Turn <fract1> or do the <anything1> call as the Very Outsides Counter Rotate 1/4;
  3. Center 4 Arm Turn <fract2> or do the <anything2> call as Outsides "move up" (the dancer who did the Counter Rotate 1/4 does a 1/2 Press Ahead; the remaining outside dancer does an Isolate).

Touch & Go usually ends in Parallel Waves or Twin Diamonds.

Notes:

  • Touch & Go 1/4 By 3/4 is the same as Finish a Stimulate.
  • The first fraction must be 1/4 or 3/4, unless the starting formation is strange (e.g., Facing Lines).
  • There are no default fractions for this call, although, if someone called Touch & Go without any fractions while I was dancing, I'd assume 1/4 By 1/4, which is the most common usage of Touch & Go.

Examples (from R-H Columns):

  • Touch & Go 3/4 By 1/4
  • Touch & Go Snake By 1/2
  • Touch & Go 1/4 By Run Wild
  • Touch & Go Grand 1/4 Thru By Mix
