Hi Jeff,

              The Caller’s Box has 64 dances so far, and I just wrote another… I would have thought that was enough. Maybe not.

              They give “As a couple, California Twirl” but I am not too keen on that.

            Happy dancing,

Does this figure actually need a name?  It's rare enough that I would just describe what the dancers do, and prompt it with a shortened version of those words ("make an arch, come back up" or something)

Hi all,

              I understand that some people object to the use of the word Dixie (I don’t necessarily agree, but please let’s not get into that now).

               I am currently using “Grand Twirl” as an alternative name for a Dixie Twirl, since “Grand” generally implies “everyone” and the move applies to all four dancers in the line.

               Has anyone come up with a better term?

               Thanks.

            Happy dancing,
