ANYTHING and circle

Callers use the <ANYTHING> and circle construction with either an 8-person call to be done by everyone, or a 4-person call to be done just by the centers, and dancers generally have no confusion about it. The program is not so clever. The <ANYTHING> and circle call has all 8 people do the call, so, for example, it could be used with ping-pong circulate or scoot and plenty. If you want just the centers to do the <ANYTHING> call, you can use the centers concept. For example, you could select <ANYTHING> and circle 1/4, then centers, then switch the wave. The result will come out as [CENTERS switch the wave] and circle 1/4. You presumably would not say the word `centers' when calling this.

There is another way to get this effect is to select simple modifications followed by swing and circle. When this method is used, the modification call will be done by the centers only. So you could select simple modifications, then swing and circle 1/4, and then give the modification call switch the wave.

If all else fails, there is a call and circle 1/4 that just does the final circling part.
