Re: [Callers] Question about the Squeaking Wheel

This move was first (in my knowledge) in Symmetrical Force by Fred Feild (written in the late 1970s) which I have notated below. The center two people turn back-to-back under their own arms (or butt to butt as has been mentioned.) The biggest single problem is people not wanting to turn out. We often say "If it doesn't work, try turning the other way." The other thing to understand it that they can only successfully turn under their own arms if they bend their arms at the elbow. It is the weirdest thing, but people will try to do this with a straight arm and it just doesn't work that way. Symmetrical Force Fred Feild, Improper contra Ones split the twos for a mirror image do-si-do Turn the same one with a handy hand, (once or twice. A muc crowd would want twice*) Ones swing in the center Down the hall four in line, ones roll back to back Come back in a cosy line, Twos come up and over the ones to form a four leafed clover Circle once around (in the four leafed clover.) Twos arch, ones come up through the arch to unwind. Ones split the twos and go on to the next. *Though this is not a muc dance. It doesn't have a neighbor swing or a swing for the twos. It is a flexible, comfortable dance and works well for a mixed floor.
