Sandy Bryant’s C3A Teach Order

CALLERLAB

A-1 Teaching Order

NOTE:

If viewing this list online, you may click on any call (concept, formation) to go directly to the online definition from the “Ceder Chest” at:

http://www.ceder.net/def/index_master.php4?language=usa

Particularly for the introductory terms, there may not be entries in the current “Ceder Chest”. In that case, you are referred to the CALLERLAB definitions document and your caller’s in-class information. In other cases, the “Ceder Chest” combines calls that CALLERLAB lists separately in their teaching order. For example, CALLERLAB separates ¼ Thru from ¾ thru, while “Ceder Chests” keeps them together. Similarly, “Ceder Chest” includes a single entry for the “Belle and Beau” naming conventions, while CALLERLAB only includes this for couples facing the same direction at the A-1 level. Your teacher/caller should be able to help you if you have any questions about whether a specific variation is or is not valid at the A-1 dancing level (or at your stage of instruction).
