CLOVERLEAF

CALLERLAB DEFINITION:
"The lead dancers separate away from each other in a ¾ (270o) circle. When each lead dancer meets another lead dancer from the other side of the square, they become partners and step forward to the centre of the square. Each trailing dancer follows the dancer in front of them and ends directly behind that same dancer. If only two couples are involved (facing out), they do the lead dancers part as described but they may not necessarily step all the way into the centre of the square at the end of the call."

TEACHING SUGGESTIONS:
The name of this movement gives a description of the traffic pattern followed by the dancers. Each dancer will turn away from their adjacent dancer (as if walking around the leaves of a giant four-leaf clover) and walk in a ¾ circle. I use this description, and find that the dancers understand it easily.
