Hey all,
We sat down today and programmed our dance on Dec. 4th.

We're all pretty excited. I was going through my dances tonight doing a
little thinking ahead and realized that I'm not sure about timing the
calls for a 4 in line down the hall. Do you time the call to end on the
6th beat to encourage dancers to use the final 2 beats to turn around,
or do you time it to end on the eighth beat?
Beat - Call
5 - Down the
6 - Hall
7 - 4 in
8 - Line
1 -
2 -
3 -
4 -
5 - Turn as a
6 - Couple
7 - C'mon
8 - Back
Or:
5 - Down the
6 - Hall
7 - 4 in
8 - Line
1 -
2 -
3 -
4 -
5 -
6 -
7 - Turn as a
8 - Couple
1 - C'mon
2 - Back
I think that I answered my own question, but I'm interested in hearing
what people say about it.
Thanks!
Chris
