RELAY THE DEUCEY
Starting formation: Parallel Ocean Waves.
Timing: 20
Dance
action: All Circulates in this definition refer to the Original
Circulate path established by the ends of the original ocean waves. No dancer
ever stops moving during this call; the pauses written into the definition
(i.e., the action described as "half-circulate") are there for clarity
of description and for teaching purposes only.
Each end and the adjacent center dancer turn one-half (180°). The new centers
of each ocean wave turn three-quarters (270°), while the others half-circulate,
forming a six-person wave and two lonesome dancers. The wave of six, working as
3 pairs, turns 1/2, while the others half-circulate. In the wave, the center 4
turn 1/2, while the other four dancers half-circulate. The wave of 6, again
working as 3 pairs, turns 1/2, while the others half-circulate. Finally, the
center 4 of the wave turn 3/4 (becoming the centers of the new waves), while the
outside 4 half-circulate to become the ends of the final waves.
Styling:
Basic swing thru styling is utilized for turning movements within the ocean
wave formations.
Circulating dancers do the circulate action with arms in natural dance position,
blending to hands up ocean wave formation at the conclusion of the call.
