Eastern Standard Time, twhinds(a)earthlink.net writes: I'm in the process of writing a book on the ins and outs of choreography. The last chapter is a glossary of uncommon moves used in contras. I remember, maybe 15 years ago, someone wrote a dance that used a move called a hockey stick. Does anyone know the dance/ know the move? My memory is that dancers walk across the set single file and then turn a quarter and move either up or down. Also, I may have discovered some regional differences in the move cast off. I realize that cast off isn't done as much as it was many years ago, but I wanted to know how you do it in your area. Say the ones go down the hall, return and cast off with the twos. Do the twos act as a pivot point? Or do the twos back up while the ones cast (the pivot is between the dancers). Thanks for you help!!!!
