So something I heard Lisa Heywood do, that worked really well, was to get
everyone to walk single file in a little circle. Then she added the stops
in the waves for the balances. She also made it easier on the dancers by
calling a dances with a complete box circulate in ie you went all the way
round and ended up where you started.
I sometimes call it as "rotate" because that's quicker to say than
"box
circulate" and makes as much sense. Some experienced dancers are confused
by this even though I think the terms are meant to be interchangeable, but
I guess it wouldn't matter what you call it if they've never heard of it
before.

I'm planning to call a dance with a box circulate,
for the first time, and
got to thinking, how do you call it during the dance? Do you use the actual
word "circulate"? That seems clunky to me.I can think of lots of possible
alternatives, but was wondering if there's a word that is commonly used.
For context, I'll be calling this for a group that has for the most part
never done a box circulate. (And while we're at it, if you have any tips
for teaching the box circulate, I'd be glad to hear those as well!).
Thanks so much,
