[Callers] Re: Really fun 3X3 dances? And easy squares?

It’s 4 slides to the right, then 4 to the left. Everyone is going in the same direction, so there’s little risk of tripping. (The move is a simplification of the original formal Lancers, in which partners went past each other, ladies in front to the left, gents behind to the right.) I always demonstrate it, modeling short slides to minimize rowdiness. (It’s closer to a basketball shuffle than to an all-out gallop.) If the group is mainly retirement age or I have other reasons to suspect they may be uncomfortable sliding, I offer “side, behind, side, kick” as an alternative, pointing out that both versions can be mixed in a set without mishap.
