Tea Cup Chain
I am about ready (in a couple of weeks) to teach all 4 ladies tea cup chain. Do you have a definition or hint as to a way of teaching it. I usually teach it with head ladies first, then side ladies center and then all 4 ladies center. When I get tot he all 4 ladies chain there's usually a little confusion. However in the past when I started with all 4 ladies first, it seems like there was less confusion.
The hints are:
- Each lady progresses to their corner, then the opposite, then the left-hand man, then back home.
- Ladies start with the RIGHT HAND, then alternate hands. Men take whatever hand the Ladies give them.
- I assume by your message that you want to do ALL FOUR LADIES (center) TEA CUP CHAIN:
- R-H Star 3/4 to corner;
- turn corner left;
- go directly to next man (original opposite); turn right,
- L-H Star 1 & 1/4 to next man
- right arm turn, then go directory to partner for Courtesy Turn.
