Dancers are expected to blend smoothly into the next call. The call defines a general pattern, but the specific parts of the call are typically cued (e.g., &#8220;Do Paso; It&#8217;s partner left, corner right, partner left and hang on tight, make an Allemande Thar with the men in the middle &#8230;&#8221;). Variations can be cued, but the caller should draw attention to the fact that the typical pattern has been broken (e.g., &#8220;Do Paso, turn partner left, turn corner by the right, Don&#8217;t Stop Yet! Partner left and corner right, hang on tight, Boys swing in to a Wrong Way Thar&#8221;).<\/p>\n<p>The combination Four Ladies Chain, Chain Them Back with a Do Paso is an example of blending. See the section &#8220;Part 4: Additional Detail: Blending one call into another&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>While primarily a circle-type figure, Do Paso may also be started from 8 Chain Thru (half sashayed) and Left-Hand Ocean Waves (boys on end).<\/p>\n<p>Do Paso may also be used from circles of 4 and 6 dancers. These applications have received insufficient use in recent years and will probably require a quick walkthru.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: .0001pt;\"><b><span style=\"font-size: 14.0pt; font-family: 'Tahoma',sans-serif; color: #0066b3;\">ARC Decisions<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: .0001pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif; color: #ff0000;\">(May 2012) <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: .0001pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Tahoma',sans-serif; color: #0066b3;\">Q: Is it proper or improper to call the following: From a Static Square (SS) or a circle, &#8220;DoPaso, turn partner left&#8230;turn corner right, men star left?
