Description
There are many calls for which we have well known "standard" applications, and we have even documented many of them in the Standard Applications documents. "Standard", however, does not mean "easier" — it really means "more common". There are many infrequently used applications that are not hard, they're just infrequent. Because they're infrequent, dancers bobble when they hear them, so we avoid them, so they stay infrequent: vicious circle. Some examples: Peel The Top from LH Cols; Cut/Flip The Diamond, Girls as Centers; Ping Pong Circulate with same-sexes in center wave. If you are interested in enriching your dancers' experience with usages that are not hard, just infrequently used, this session is for you.
