[Callers] Re: Videos of different things to do in short wavy lines?

Assuming I'm guessing correctly that the length of a "short wavy line" is four people, you could look to modern square dance for ideas of figures. One of them is "Swing Through", where if for example you have a wave where the outer people have right hands joined and the middles have left hands joined, you drop hands in the middle and turn half by the right, then the new middles turn half by the left. More generally, you can do these outer and inner half-turns in any combination. Swing Through instruction and demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cVRiXJvo0Mk#t=0m36s You can also trade down the line in various combinations, e.g. everyone trade with the person facing the same way as them (walking forward), which is called "Trade the Wave" -- instruction and demo at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RRQf5iPKhck#t=13 Various variants are possible (many of which have names in modern square dance), such as just one of the pairs trading by turning half, the middles turning half, the two ends trading (they would both orbit the others since they're walking forward), etc. Then, there are interesting ways to get into a wave: In addition to simply stepping forward into a wave, we have for example Follow your Neighbour: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2f0I5T7eIH0&t=78 Pass the Ocean: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cVRiXJvo0Mk#t=2m20s Dosado to a Wave: (I don't see a video for it in that series, but anyway, it's do-si-do but then keep going around a bit further to make a wave -- it's pretty much do-si-do followed by step to a wave) To get out of a wave, figures include Single Hinge: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D-7mY1jF7L4#t=1m25s Cast Off Three Quarters: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YPnY5ko96C8#t=47s Explode the Wave: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2f0I5T7eIH0&t=14s "Recycle" generally seems to be more difficult for people. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZCLNvlIjr1s#t=1m19s regards, ajr, dancing in and near Toronto, Canada
