Re: [Callers] uncommon moves--"hockey stick"/"fishhook" - Contra Callers

It's also called "button-hook" by some dance writers. (Isn't that what
Jim Kitch calls it in "Bees in the Shower?")

Here in Ithaca, the figure that you refer to as a "hockey stick" is called a
"fishhook." --K

 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.
