Not specific dances, but with waves you generally balance in the direction
you're going to move and then the opposite direction. So any dance that has
a balance followed by everyone walking forward should be a forward and back
wave balance.

Hi folks :)
As a dancer, I remember loving the feel of waves lines that balance
forward and back. However, I don't have any dances that specifically call
for that.
Might you have suggestions of dances that specifically call for Bal F&B or
which often get modified for that feel of a balance?
Thank you!
:) Emily in Ottawa
