From box
circulate formation, each dancer facing into the box walks forward to
take the place of the dancer who was directly in front of him.
Meanwhile, each dancer facing out of the box steps sideways (dodges)
into the position vacated by the "walker" who was formerly beside him.
Dancers end side byside, both facing out. If walk and dodge is called
from facing couples, the caller must designate who is to walk and who is
to dodge (e.g., "men walk,ladies dodge"). Ending is a box circulate
formation. |
