CHART SEZ:


I teach the dance in that order and then tell folks that the dance 
actually starts with the forward and back, and since everyone is in that 
formation we are ready to start with long lines forward and back.

I always end the dance with Families sashaying down one after the other 
for the last time through the tune.

re Blobs. I call a lot of family dances on Long Island (often PTA 
sponsored). I find that they often consist of the parents standing on 
the side and pushing their kids in to the dance. When I call Blobs, I 
call it the "Family Dance". I tell the kids to get their whole family 
and tell the parents that they are not allowed to say no. I get the 
families holding hands in circles and set up lines of families as long 
as the hall will allow.
