The following represents the updated collection of calls used at the C-4
level. This is intended only to be a description of the calls and does not
imply that these calls should all be used by callers. For a number of
reasons, mostly in light of new technical thought, some calls no longer fit
our activity. Those calls are included because they are still used by some
callers, and this is intended to be a dancer reference. I have chosen to
indicate calls that are infrequently used by listing those call names in
lower case letters.
The purpose of this collection is to provide an alphabetical listing of the
calls for both study and quick reference. It is assumed that the reader is
totally familiar with all of the official list calls through C-3, therefore
none are included. The definitions are meant to be brief, and in many
cases, are shortcuts for the true definition. Also, since no starting
formations are given, it is possible to interpret an illegal starting setup
that permits the shortcut definition.
The 2002 edition contains corrections of errors present in the previous editions as
well as incorporating suggestions made by many people. I have not included
a list designation. I have used one abbreviation that may not be obvious:
ATC = Any Tagging Call. I have added the number of parts in parentheses
after the call definition for calls with well defined numbers of parts.
Thanks to all who have fed back comments, corrections, and suggestions.
All comments are welcome. Feel free to make any suggestions on how this
can better suit your needs. Please e-mail suggestions to Ben Rubright
