[Callers] Partial circulate the wave?

[Read Weaver]

I’m not sure “circulate” is a common enough move in contra that you have to worry about using the call differently, though it is becoming more common. And correspondingly, I’d say “partial circulate” will hardly be helpful at all. I think you could say “circulate to a wave” the first couple of times, and then “circulate t’wave” as needed. (Teach it, of course, with more words than that, and tell them you’re going to call it “circulate to a wave.” Maybe point out during teaching that if you’re facing in you go to the wave, if you’re facing out you turn and stay on the outside—that way you don’t have to call “circulate to a ladies’ wave”/“circulate to a gents’ wave.")

Or, in the interest of not adding any more terminology, since only half of the people are going to end up in a wave after each one, would it be better to just say "ladies take 4 steps forward to a long wave of ladies, gents face in", etc?
