How to teach the right and left through (or thru), quickly and efficiently?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some think that figure dancing is more complex to teach than couple dances or dances in a round. Is it really harder to teach a quadrille than a circle dance?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is partially true, as one needs to explain the move of 2, or even 8 dancers, at the same time. So, during the latest “teacher’s training” organized by my dance federation, figure dancing was at the end of the programme. Indeed, they were seen as “harder” than the other types of dance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, a complex figure doesn’t always require a long explanation. With some straightforward instructions, and a well-thought progression, one can make the beginners dance in a few minutes. Easy for me to say, you think, as I mainly teach figure dances: English country dances, quadrilles, square dances, longways, … The repertoire of figure dancing also includes folk dances from France, Ireland, Italy and many more. I surely didn’t think of all types of figure dancing, so feel free to complete the list in the commen area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is not only me that says it. After all, there are barn dances, ceili \/ ceilidh (and thei many spellings), dance evenings and balls… with ONLY figure dancing. And those events welcomes beginners dancers. Without need for long and verbose instructions. How do they do that? Do they always ask experienced dancers to show off the move? (no).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, today, I will demonstrate a straightforward, fast, effective way to teach a complex figure: the right and left through. My method is to build the move progressively from an easier one.<\/p>\n\n\n

\"Regency
“Right and left”, in Thomas Wilson, The quadrille and cotillion panorama (…)<\/em><\/a>,
R. & E. Williamson, Londres, early 19th century, p.42.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Teaching the Grand Chain or Right and Left grand in a circle<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

First of all, you\u2019re going to start by forgetting that name<\/strong>. When you\u2019re just starting out, the name of the figure doesn\u2019t matter at all; it doesn\u2019t tell you anything about what you\u2019ll need to do. Besides, some people call what others refer to as a \u2018circular hey\u2019 an \u2018right and left\u2019, so really, don\u2019t start by announcing the name of the figure. The name is just a label; we\u2019ll stick it on the jar later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So I start by arranging my dancers in pairs in a large circle. I ask the partners to face each other. And I say something like:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cTake your partner\u2019s right hand. Move forwards to take the left hand of the next partner. Carry on like this, always moving forwards, one hand then the other.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

See? The instruction is addressed to the whole group. Everyone knows which hand to offer and in which direction to move, without needing to memorise a long sequence of steps. And in less than a minute, there you go \u2013 they\u2019re dancing a \u2018Grand chain\u2019. But I\u2019ll say it again: don\u2019t bother them with technical terms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If what I\u2019m describing isn\u2019t visual enough for your liking, here\u2019s a picture (which, in this case, isn\u2019t worth a thousand words in my opinion).<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Illustration<\/a>
Right and Left grand, square dance figure illustrated by One Mathematical Cat<\/a>.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

And here is some videos of this figure, the Scottish way (Grand Chain<\/em>)<\/a> and the Square Dance way (Right and Left grand<\/em>)<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Make sure you do also work on the other direction. So, the ones who were traveling clockwise should also practice traveling anti-clockwise. To do so, it is very easy: everybody goes back to their starting place, changes places with their partner, and beginning the same exercise with the same partner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our group now knows how to dance the Grand chain, but not yet the Right and Left through. We’ll get there step by step.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From the Grand chain to the circular hey<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Divide the group in two circles, and repeat the exercise (grand chain). This is the next step, but it is also useful to support and guide any dancers who might have not yet fully understood. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Continue the exercise with increasingly smaller circles, until you have circles of four dancers. And there you have it: your dancers are now forming a grand chain with four dancers<\/strong>, known as a \u2018circular hey\u2019 in some repertoires.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Be careful to ensure they practise the circular chain in both directions; it becomes increasingly confusing as the size of the circle decreases.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Illustration
Right and left through, Scottish country dance figure,
in the Scottish Country Dancing Dictionary<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

I complete the drawing with some videos, among the Scots <\/a>and in England<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This move is extremely common in the English country dances, including Hambleton Round O<\/a> that I already reconstructed. If that is all you need, then it is a good time to train your group to do 3 or 4 hand passes, and to perform the circular hey without hands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you are interested by the Right and Left through, then let’s continue!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And finally, the Right and Left!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To form the Right and Left, all you need to do is add a couple\u2019s movement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The principle is simple: the partners maintain their initial facing until they are side by side, then turn together to face the opposite couple.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the Followers (usually the ladies), nothing changes. Really. If necessary, they can remain in their starting position until they take their partner\u2019s hand. But generally, this comes naturally to them and there\u2019s no need to spell it out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the Leaders (usually the men), we\u2019ll add a small nuance. They, too, will remain in their starting position until they take their partner\u2019s hand\u2026 and, above all, must not turn towards said partner. At the same time, as they offer their left hand to their partner, they\u2019ll place their right hand on their partner\u2019s back. This way, the two partners are side by side. As a couple, in this position, they\u2019ll turn to the left \u2013 that is, the leader turns backwards and the follower turns forwards \u2013 until they\u2019re facing the couple opposite them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The same applies on the way back, and\u2026 there you go!<\/p>\n\n\n

You will get a nice Right and Left, or Chaine Anglaise, in no time. Watch the figure in video for Historical <\/a>(25-second mark), Square<\/a>, and even traditional <\/a>dance (French Brittany, without hands, 40-second mark)!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Une jolie cha\u00eene anglaise. Cette fois, en images en danse ancienne<\/a> (\u00e0 25 secondes), en square dance<\/a>, et m\u00eame en danse traditionnelle bretonne<\/a> (\u00e0 40 secondes, et sans les mains)!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Conclusion: the foolproof method for teaching a figure<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Here are a few tips to bear in mind, which apply to all explanations of all figure dances:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Don\u2019t get bogged down with names to begin with;<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Focus on instructions that apply to all dancers at the same time;<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Where possible, build the figure up bit by bit, using simpler ones as a basis.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    And what about you \u2013 which figure do you find hardest to explain to beginners? (personally it is Strip the willow)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Do you have a tip for making it simple and easy to understand, or, on the contrary, is there a figure that defies all your attempts to explain it?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Let me know in the comments! Your experiences and tips could help other instructors get their groups dancing more easily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
