[Callers] Ladies Chain after 4-in-line

(16) 4-in-line dn hall, turn as cpls, return (16) (starting from the line) W ch over and bk The first Ladies Chain is started directly from the line with the ladies moving towards each other (and in front of the man if need be) for the right pull by, and the men positioning themselves for the courtesy turn which will finish as usual with the couples facing. Not only does bending the line cause problems like you mention, but the flow for one of the women (internal to the line) is bad, as she has to back up in the bend and then immediately move forward to start the chain. Chaining from a line is done in the trad square Hurry Hurry Hurry "You chain 'em up and down the line and watch 'em churn" Cheers, Bill
