All 4 Couples - Ending Formation
From squared set:
  • All 4 couples pass thru
  • All 4 couples chase right
or
  • All 4 couples partner hinge and roll
  • All 8 pass and roll

Do those examples give generalized squared sets/Alamo ring?

How do you decide, which one is right, when dancing other calls with same ending positions? I'm a little confused about this. Recently I danced the later one, and the floor was informed about Alamo ring as the ending position.

From a Generalized Squared Set (i.e., a Squared Set with Everyone Facing In, a Squared Set with Everyone Facing Out, or a Squared Set with Mini-Waves), if the call being done All Four Couples (or All Eight) ends in a Box, then the All 4 Couples version ends such that everyone is in a Generalized Squared Set.

  1. If the 4-dancer call ends in a Box, the All Four Couples version ends in a Generalized Squared Set;
  2. if the 4-dancer call ends in a Line, Wave Column, or Diamond, the All Four Couples version ends in a Thar or Promenade;
  3. if the 4-dancer call ends in a "Z", who knows?

All Four Couples Pass Thru ends in a Squared Set with Everyone Facing Out.

All Eight Chase Right ends in a Squared Set with Everyone in a R-H Mini-Wave.

All Eight Pass & Roll ends in a Squared Set with Everyone in a R-H Mini-Wave.
