Luke, "Dance a While" pages 63/64 has a list of figures. Pretty much all the ones I know are on there.. If you don't have the book, find one on ebay or something and buy it!!

Subject: [Callers] Grand Marches
From: callers@lists.sharedweight.net
Hello all,
Just yesterday, I was part of a Grand March that Chris Ricciotti led that was such fun, it made me want to up my game for Grand Marches.
I'd be curious to hear folks suggestions for:
- moves that work well, and how to prompt them
- how to gauge space and timing
- how to best enroll collaborators (must they be planned ahead, what can you do on the fly)
- Train wrecks to avoid
- Tempos for the band
- suitable crowds (weddings? regular dances? special weekends?)
- Transitioning from G.M. straight in to longways sets
- Endings for G.M. besides the crowd and clap
- Other fun things to incorporate
What are good videos that show the action from above?
Is it written up anywhere? Or is it one of those learn by doing and stealing things?
What folks have passed me so far:
Thanks for any suggestions you have.
