* It is important that the dancers heed the call of "Cut 'em short/* as they lead the lines around the outside of the set, staying as close as possible to the circle of dancers without spreading out past the limits of their set. All Square Dance figures and movements must stay within the space occupied by the set formation, otherwise all timing of the movements will be lost. |
