All 4 Couples Quarter In
I am a square dancer living over in England and dancers are confused by being instructed different ways to carry out two calls from the A2 programme.

It has been suggested that I contact you to get your view as to how dancers should execute the calls, which I hope, will resolve the confusion.

Both calls start from a normal Static Square.

The question is how would you expect the dancers to execute the calls:

  1. All Four Couples 1/4 In
  2. All Four Couples Pass In

I thank you in anticipation of you assistance.

All 4 Couples 1/4 In:

The use of this call is somewhat of a gimmick, used by callers to determine if dancers really understand the All 4 Couples Concept.

This is often danced as Everybody 1/4 In (toward Partner) then backup and slide together to reform Couples (Heads are now at the Side position and vice-versa, everybody is half-sashayed).

However, I believe that the correct way to dance this call is for everyone to pass by their corner (right-shoulders and without turning) to end in their corner's starting position, then 1/4 In to re-form a squared set.

All 4 Couples Pass In:

Pass corners right-shoulders (without turning), and then Pass In with the next dancer. Ends in a squared set.
