Re: [Callers] Zia Formation

Hi Bob, Thanks for your comments. I didn't think the left hand stars would be that hard, because in both cases they are "star till you see new neighbors", but maybe in the zia context it could get confusing. In your word document you mention the shadow phenomenon in the squares. In a Sicilian circle the clockwise and anti-clockwise progressing couples are separate groups. An similar thing will happen in a zia with four squares (enclosed in a box) connected by contra lines. Assuming the progression out of the squares is to the right, the #1 couple in the top left square will dance in each square only once and will be traveling along the connecting contra lines thru the zia in a clockwise loop. All couples not in this loop will dance along the connecting contra lines the other way to then enter each square a total of 3 times (with possible excursions along attached contra branches), thus forming a much longer loop progressing anti-clockwise. In your first post you mentioned grid squares. Does anyone have any references about these, or related formations? Cheers, Bill
