Was called Star Thru, Cal Twirl and Roll  = 0BL From: "Rich Sbardella richsbardella(a)gmail.com [trad-dance-callers]" <trad-dance-callers(a)yahoogroups.com> To: trad-dance-callers(a)yahoogroups.com Sent: Wednesday, August 9, 2017 6:41 PM Subject: [trad-dance-callers] Easy Square   Hello Folks, Here is a simple sure I put together.  It is called California Jitters because of the sequence of Star Thru, California Twirl, and Swing.  When done as rapid sequence they have a jitterbug type feeling.   I would appreciate any constructive criticism, and also if the sequence exists in the traditional dance world.   The sequence of Star Thru, California Twirl, and Swing was used by New England dance caller, Dick Leger, and I always enjoyed it. | California Jitters | | | New England Square - Rich

Just to be sure I am picturing it correctly; is the corner you swing the person you've just twirled?

Very nice Rich. I think it's a winner. I really like calling squares where the heads do a series of moves and then repeat that same series with the sides. You've got me thinking. How about a completely different one, maybe for experienced dancers that includes the following (after a circle left with the sides)? reverse star through, Jersey twirl, (and roll) swing corner. On second thought maybe do a circle right before hand. Okay, I've got it. Heads chain, circle left 3/4, weave line past each other, circle right with sides... I better stop now or I'll never get to work. T On Aug 9, 2017, at 6:41 PM, Rich Sbardella richsbardella(a)gmail.com [trad-dance-callers] wrote:
