Definitions ==>
Calls and Concepts
4 By 4
Would you be so kind as to define the 4 by 4 definition.
I heard that Ben called from lines facing 4 by 4 circle to a wave and got a column and I know what he did but what is the definition? It works the same as disconnected doesn't it?

Basically on a 4 By 4 call,
- Find two sets of 4 dancers, in which the dancers in
each set are facing the same direction. For example, R-H Columns, or Facing Lines.
- The End dancers in each group of 4 pretend that the
centers are not there, and do the call, but do the
call in a wider manner to allow room for the centers
before, during, and after the call.
- The Centers imagine there is a string tied to the
top of the heads for all dancers in their group of 4.
The Centers then stay in between the Ends, moving in
the same manner as the Ends to do the call.
The Centers are often referred to as the 'cheese'
(between the two end slices).
