Objective:<\/h2>\n

The objective of the Plus Program Definitions is to provide clear, concise, simple explanations of the
\nterms and calls used in the Plus Program.<\/p>\n

1. Starting Formations<\/h3>\n

Starting formations are listed for each of the defined calls. They are the most commonly
\noccurring starting formations for the calls in use at the time these definitions were approved,
\nbut they are not necessarily the only possible starting formations, given the dynamic nature of
\nthe Square Dance Activity.<\/p>\n

2. Facing Dancers<\/h3>\n

Facing dancers, unless otherwise specified, may be any combination of men and women.<\/p>\n

3. Couples<\/h3>\n

Couples, unless otherwise specified, may be any combination of men and women.<\/p>\n

4. Passing Rule<\/h3>\n

Whenever two dancers are walking toward each other and are about to collide, they pass right
\nshoulders and continue.<\/p>\n

5. Same Position Rule<\/h3>\n

Whenever two dancers are walking toward each other and are required to occupy the same
\nposition, they join right-hands in a mini-wave sharing that position.<\/p>\n

6. Facing Couples Rule<\/h3>\n

Some calls, which normally start from Ocean Waves, can also be done when dancers are in
\nfacing couples (e.g., All 8 Spin the Top, Grand Swing Thru, Relay the Deucey, Spin Chain the
\nGears). In this case, the dancers first step into a momentary right-hand Ocean Wave and
\ncomplete the call unless the caller specifically directs a left-hand call (e.g., Left Relay the
\nDeucey), in which case the dancers step into a momentary left-hand Ocean Wave and complete
\nthe call.<\/p>\n

The following calls cannot be done from facing couples; that is, a mini-wave or ocean wave (as
\nstated in each call’s definition) is required as a starting formation:
\nExplode The Wave, Explode and … (anything), Follow Your Neighbor, Ping Pong Circulate,
\nTrade The Wave.<\/p>\n

7. Ocean Wave Rule<\/h3>\n

Some calls that normally start from facing couples (or facing lines) can be done when the
\ndancers are in an ocean wave (or a tidal wave (e.g., Load the Boat)). In this case, the dancers
\nhave already stepped forward toward each other and are ready to complete the remaining
\naction of the directed call. For the sake of dancer comprehension and teaching purposes, it
\nmay be necessary initially to have the dancers back up into facing couples (or facing lines),
\nthen step back into the wave (or tidal wave) and complete the call.<\/p>\n

8. Regional Styling Differences<\/h3>\n

CALLERLAB recognizes that regional differences in styling exist.<\/p>\n
